Folio-over 12"-15" tall. Signed by Author xi, 324 pages. SIGNED BY NEAL CONOLEY. The story of wildfowl hunting and decoy making in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Over 250 photographs of these decoy carvings, most in black & white. With several other vintage photos of wood carvers, waterfowl hunters, their boats and environs. Book cover is lightly rubbed at edges; a smattering of tiny spots at top and fore edges. From about pages 259-306, the top edges have varying degress of water damage-ranging from light waviness to faint discoloration and heavy waviness (does not affect text, limited to upper margin! ). Dust jacket is quite stained with waterspots and scratches; tears, with large piece missing on rear, at bottom corner. In mylar. Still a good copy, interior clean and unmarked, photos are beautiful![less]
