BERGMAN, Ray (1891-1967). Trout. Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing Company, [1938]. 8vo. Illustrations including color plates by Edgar Burke and photographs by Charles Krug. Publisher’s burgundy cloth with watered silk finish, front board and spine stamped in gilt (spine rubbed, headcap bumped, some rubbing to binding); publisher’s dust jacket (front jacket flap with price cut-out, spine lightly sunned, some edgewear, marginal short tears). Housed in later cloth slipcase. “The only true American angling classic still read widely is Ray Bergman's Trout. It remains the best all-around basic text, managing to cover fundamentals of theory and practice in a smooth and relaxed way. Trout remains our Old Testament, the first and only book many anglers look to for guidance.” (The New York Times). Bruns B134; Wetzel, p. 104.
