$34.00
A handsome vintage fishing book for trout anglers, Robert Traver readers, and lovers of outdoor writing, Trout Madness is a 1984 hardcover reprint with dust jacket from Peregrine Smith Books / Gibbs M. Smith, Inc.
It has the kind of quiet shelf presence that works beautifully in a study, cabin, lodge, or story-rich home library, with a clean cream jacket, blue lettering, and a classic trout illustration on the front.
This copy is photo-verified and appears to be a later reprint of the 1960 edition, with the title page and copyright page shown in the photos. The actual book shown is the one you will receive.
