The top picture of the FEP of Woolner's "Grouse and Grouse Hunting" is inscribed to a gentleman here in Andover who was a president of The Andover Fly Fishers by the name of Fred Cummings.
The next one was Tap Tapply's personal copy of "Timberdoodle" which is in my library along with a few more of Tap's personal books.

Not because I think they're better than the other breeds,

George King, "That's Ruff", 2010 - a timeless classic.
