In original (slightly creased and torn) glassine and gold-speckled deep green slipcase with paper label. Section titles with illustrations by T. O. Duncan. WITH SIX LEAVES FROM SPORTING BOOKS. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the limitation page. De Hamel & Silver, "Disbound and Dispersed" 205. Except for small problems with the glassine jacket, as new. This thorough bibliography of sporting book series published by 24 different publishers in the United States from the mid-19th century to the 1990s contains original leaves from six included works. Our author is bookseller, collector, and bibliographer Matthew L. "Duke" Biscotti, a noted sporting book enthusiast who has published six works on the topic. In 2010, he donated his extensive collection of sporting periodicals and ephemera to the National Sporting Library in Middleburg, Virginia. The six leaves here are from the following works: 1) Roosevelt, Theodore, and George Bird Grinnell, editors. "American Big Game Hunting," New York: Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 1893. 2) Holder, Charles. "The Big Game Fishes of the United States." New York: Macmillan Co, 1903. 3) Cook, Carroll Blaine. "Lake and Stream Game Fishing." Cincinnati: Stewart & Kidd Company, 1917. 4) Connett, Eugene V. "Any Luck?" New York: Windward House, 1933. 5) Clark, Roland. "Pot Luck." New York: A.S. Barnes and Company, 1945. 6) Allen, Durward L. "Pheasants in North America." Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: Stackpole Co. (Wildlife Management Institute), 1956. This book is not rare, but it is seldom found, as here, in its original glassine dust jacket. FIRST EDITION. No. 176 OF 300 NUMBERED COPIES (and 30 deluxe lettered copies).…
