The Bibliography is Here
 Earlier
this week I received two preliminary copies of The Literature of
Turkey Hunting: An Annotated Bibliography and the Random Scribblings of
a Sporting Bibliophile from the printer. I’m delighted with the
appearance of both the book and the slipcase, and hope others will be
similarly pleased. As I have noted in recent newsletters, the book was
“done right” in terms of quality. It features Smythe-sewn binding,
classy Skivertex material for both the book cover and the slipcase, a
ribbon marker, all edges gilt, the use of gilt on the cover and spine,
80-pound stock, a selection of color photographs, and other attributes
of a fine book. The book’s cover is in a striking blue, nicely offset by
the maroon color of the slipcase and ribbon marker.
It is produced in a limited, number, and signed edition of 750 copies. The
book contains 580 annotated entries, current prices are given for books
dealing exclusively with turkey hunting, and there is coverage of
various matters which should be of interest to anyone who is a collector
or reader of the literature of the sport. My good friend and fellow
sporting scribe Jim Spencer lied most graciously in his Foreword. The
work’s 11 chapters cover the following subjects:
-
Chapter 1—“Suggestions on Forming a Turkey Hunting Library”
-
Chapter 2—“The Vagaries of Book Values”
-
Chapter 3—“Some Notes on Arrangement and the Scope of Coverage”
-
Chapter 4—“Books on Turkey Hunting”
-
Chapter 5—“Tom Kelly Books”
-
Chapter 6—“Scientific Books and Pamphlets on Turkey Hunting”
-
Chapter 7—“Pamphlets, Leaflets, Booklets, Bulletins, and Other
Ephemera”
-
Chapter 8—“Books with Some Coverage of Turkey Hunting”
-
Chapter 9—“Elusive Items, ‘Ghost’ Titles, and Sights Unseen”
-
Chapter 10—“Magazines and Annuals”
-
Chapter 11—“A Peek in the Crystal Ball”
-
Appendix—“Book Terms, Condition, and Related Information”
The book contains 18 pages of introductory material, 171 pages of text, and
a separate section of color photographs. It is $100 (includes shipping
and insurance), and you can order through this Web site (use PayPal) or
by mailing payment to me c/o 1250 Yorkdale Drive, Rock Hill, SC 29730.
For those of you who ordered and pre-paid for the book, I will be
shipping your copies, via insured media mail, on September 27.
If you are interested but would like a bit more detail, you can
read a sample chapter
here, and there is a photo of the book and
slipcase there as well.
