GREY, ZANE
Tales of Fresh-Water Fishing. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1928

Half green morocco over green cloth covered boards, spine with raised bands in six compartments, second and fourth gilt-lettered, others with multiple gilt rules and filigree centerpieces, top edge gilt, other uncut, marbled endpapers; minor shelfwear. In quarter green morocco clamshell case.

First edition, deluxe copy, from Grey's library with his blindstamp.
