Octavo, red boards (hardcover), xv, 170 pp. Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: Not since 1903 has a comprehensive book been published on the subject of the lobster. In this volume, T. M. Prudden reviews all that is known about the lobster -- its haunts, breeding habits, enemies, diseases, tastes in food -- and discusses the facets of industry that depend upon lobsters for income. The kinds of traps and methods used in catching them, the care of lobster pounds and preservation of lobster meat, the shipping and marketing of lobsters, and finally the proper way to cook and eat them -- all those are covered in this informative book. A brief portrait of a lobsterman and occasional references through the text will reveal to the discerning reader one reason why the lobster industry as a whole has not changed in proportion to other industries in the last 50 years. While it is true that one seldom hears nowadays the quiet, controlled rhythm of a man punting his dory to his traps, to haul them out laboriously by hand; and nowadays motors take the place of oars and winches of muscle, the designs of lobster traps used in America has not changed appreciably since they were first invented, and the bait is still as smelly as ever, and marketing practices are still relatively old-fashioned. For some years, Mr. Prudden experimented with all kinds of artificial baits, which he describes in detail. He points the way to future experimentation and has some ideas about design and about marketing that should be well worth a young lobsterman's time to study. "We will state flatly that if every lobster fisherman, dealer and retailer were to sit down and read this book with an open mind, one of the greatest single benefits ever accruing to the lobster industry would have been accomplished.
