Reviews

""Kurlansky's research-filled love letter to fishing will appeal equally to seasoned fishers and complete novices.""--Library Journal ""Lifting the hood on his deep, personal relationship with the ocean, Kurlansky reveals that fishing is, in the most profound sense, meditation.""--Paul Greenberg, best-selling author of Four Fish ""Mark Kurlansky puts you in the angling moment as fully as anyone who has ever written about this wonderful pastime.""--Peter Kaminsky, author of The Zen of Flyfishing ""This informative book is almost a guilty pleasure. It is perfectly paired with lovely illustrations that make reading about fishing even better than actually going fishing-at least until one finishes the book.""--Carl Safina, PhD, author of Song for the Blue Ocean and Alfie & Me
