Yes, it's an enjoyable book.
BTW, I have that same dog sculpture...but mine is a Gordon Setter.

You reminded me....
I have two books by William J. Schaldach. The second one I bought is called "The Wind on Your Cheek or More chips from the log of an artist sportsman". This one has art and text about grouse, woodcock, trout, bass, fishing, hunting, dogs, etc. (copyright 1972). Stories and art. Some previously published in Fishing Waters of the World, Hunting and Fishing Magazine, and Field and Stream.
The first is Upland Gunning Copyright 1946. It is a limited printing of 160 of which 150 for sale (copy #48) signed by the author beneath the number. I found this at an auction in Bel Air, MD about 15 years ago. Like Harold says, it is a very interesting collection of upland art. What intrigued me is the inscription and signatures on the first white page. It is in cursive and says (best I can tell) "Dinner in honor of W. Reed Morris, Knickerbocker Club, Wednesday, July 13, 1949. Below this are signatures of 17 gentlemen The icing on the cake is a card with the Knickerbocker Club initial logo type written MENU Selections in French At the bottom: Liebfraumilch 1943 Moet & Chandon Brut Liqueurs July.13.1949 I was 6 months old then! I have never researched this club or the names in the signatures. Anyone know anything about a Knickerbocker Club? A Manhattan sounds perfect after all this typing..... Joe |

Joe, I think that would make your book quite collectible. Mine is the trade edition although it is also from 1946. I do find him much easier to read than many of the notable outdoor writers of that era.
I know I have asked before, but where in southwestern Pennsylvania are you located, I am only less than a half-hour from the Washington county line
