Sportsman's Library

A Sportsman s Library: The 100 Books that Every Hunter and Fisherman Should Own will consist of 100 short reviews (for lack of a better word), each one from 300 to 1500 words, and illustrated with either the cover of the book or a photo of the book s author. The list will include all the beloved classics, but will add plenty of lesser-known titles as well. It will range in time from Izaak Walton s 17th century to 21st century tiger poachers in eastern Siberia, and geographically from the Catskills to the Keys, from England s chalk streams to Jim Corbett s India. It will take pleasure in those books that explain the intricate beauty of the classic salmon fly as well the astonishing craftsmanship of a Best London double, the science of the hunt as well as the hunt s depiction in art."
