Siegel notes, "Some of America's most knowledgeable sportsmen were contributing authors to this excellent and timeless work" and Frazier states, "Certainly one of the handsomest of the great big beautiful Derrydales that Connett produced ... one of the most ambitious projects that [he] attempted." One of the most highly sought-after of Derrydale titles.
This publisher’s presentation copy is in a three quarter chestnut morocco binding of the type produced for Connett by MacDonald, apparently an unrecorded variant binding; an earlier bookseller’s card suggests that it one of five copies thus.
