Posts: 180 04/03/2009 18:11	Tags : None I'm reading this one now and loving it - especially the dry humor. Can anybody verify when this was 1st published? I did a search and the earliest edition that was listed was 1882. Also, one search turned up a single author - James A. Lees and then somewhere else it lists two authors - James Lees and Walter Clutterbuck. Two authors makes more sense given the cover and title page: "by Two of Them". Can anybody shed any light on this book? Just curious but much appreciated! Christian (moregrawling), if your reading this - Thank you!! you recommended this book to me back in 07, I'm just finally getting to it - Great Choice!! Bob

Posts: 181 04/04/2009 08:41	Thank you Christian (and Dr. Schott)!! My copy was from Philadelphia (Porter and Coates), but lists no date. Its certainly an older edition perhaps it's from 1883- 1887 (from the list that you posted). I tried to post a picture of the cover, which is textured and shows 3 fishermen walking in the dark against a moon but there appears to a problem with my computer - somewhere between the keyboard and the seat!! Thanks again! Bob
