CONNETT, EUGENE V., 3RD. My Friend, the Trout. Typescript on standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch (28 x 21.5 cm) paper, 72 pp., extensively revised for publication in red ink by Connett, with hundreds of emendations and additions, an added diagram in his hand in blue ink, with mounted proof photographs of the remaining diagrams, Housed in a chemise and morocco-backed slipcase with the Derrydale insignia on the spine. Some diagrams detached where the rubber adhesive used in paste-up has perished, but overall in very good condition indeed. Eugene Connett III was the founder, editor and publisher of the Derrydale Press, and one of the great American sportsmen of the 20th century. The book was produced by Van Nostrand in 1961, and this was clearly the final revised typescript, and was likely the setting copy as well. The book was reprinted by the Meadow Run Press in 1991. The text distills a lifetime's experience of fly fishing, and was Connett's last work. C Estate of Arnold 'Jake' Johnson
