Traver, Robert – TROUT MADNESS – 1960 1st edition – 178p – St. Martins, NY – This is the fifth book by this prolific author who was also the pen responsible for Anatomy of a Murder and Small Town D.A. both finding their way to the best seller’s list. As regards this work, Traver states: “In this book I will lie a little, but not much, and I would prefer to hide my lapses under the euphemism “literary license” my excuse being that I find it difficult to inject drama into a series of fishing stories unless somebody occasionally get on to a good fish. Quite frequently, you know, we fishermen don’t’” Skillful writing makes these 21 stories, from this lover of Michigan’s remote Upper Peninsula, very enjoyable. – Book is fine in very good dust jacket as pictured - $50.00
