Mark Jeffery Volk wrote 5 very good books on grouse and woodcock hunting. They're tough to find. It took me 10 years of looking to get a hard bound edition of his first book The Upland Way. I've really enjoyed reading his books.
Another great read is Jim Fergus's A Hunter's Road. I read it every season. |

Havilah Babcock was one of the greatest outdoor writers of all times. He sure could tell a story...along with Gordon MacQuarrie. I also really like Raymond P Holland’s stuff. Dave Books' book is really good too...Although I've teased Dave for hunting with a Brittany
 Worth Mathewson needs to be on the list too.

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. .

Dean, what great treasures to have in your library!!
Marc Parman has a new book coming out called "Among the Aspens", and I have ordered a signed copy. I am hoping to get Andrew Wayment's new grouse book "The Heartbeat of the Woods' before I go on family vacation to Hilton Head in Sept. I catch up on alot of reading that week.
