FISHERMEN AND FISHING WAYS

PETER F. ANSON

GEORGE G. HARRAP & CO.
1932

First Edition.

The history of commercial fishing.

"This book makes no pretence to be an exhaustive treatise on sea-fisheries. It merely tries to give landsmen who have neither the inclination nor the opportunity to find out for themselves some idea of how fish are caught and the chief methods employed in their capture. "
