Camden, Maine, U.S.A. 1998 Hard Cover First Edition Near Fine in Near Fine jacket 9 1/2 h x 6 1/2w. A very interesting 370 page pictorial hard cover non-fiction book about the commerical fisheries. First edition with number sequence 10-1 present. The author takes us from Bristol Bay, Alaska, to Chile, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, the Grand Bank, and Newfoundland. We meet prosperous fishermen and others who barely subsist; sometimes the two work within sight of one another. Change is a constant: traditional fisheries modernized within living memory; village grounds overwhelmed by industrial fishing; stocks threatened by overfishing or pollution; political pressures; and changes in what the world will permit fishermen to catch. Beneath the change, however, fishing remains the same. Whatever the language or circumstances, there is still the stalk, the wait, the bitter disappointment of a busted trip, the sleepless work fueled by elation when the nets come back full. Bill McCloskey a one-time merchant
