This book covers several years and recounts Zane Grey's fishing adventures in the waters surrounding the exotic island of Tahiti. A place he come to love and explore as much as any of the places in the American West. This book is filled with pictures and illustrations of a place completely unknown at the time ZG went there, and that was one of the reasons he went there--to be the first. It has the great descriptive quality of narration for which Zane Grey is noted, and excitement as only he can tell it, as he and his entourage fish for blue marlin and striped marlin and other great fish. There are shark encounters, and bad weather to be dealt with. And it includes the tale which inspired Ernest Hemingway to write "The Old Man and the Sea". Zane Grey and he were fishing rivals, so the story goes, as well as writing rivals, but in the end, I suppose, respectful ones. This is a great book, and the French fold cover adds even more to the great feel of the book making seem more expensive than it really is. Buy it, I think you will enjoy it, even if you don't fish. Afterall, it's Zane Grey.
