Good. Bought others for friends.Book was old but acceptable (fragile from age or storage)okRay Bergman is World famous for his classic treatise "Trout", and very deservedly so. But even more splendid is the contribution he made to the angling world via 26 years of editing a monthly column for Outdoor Life magazine. "Fishing with Ray Bergman" was to be the swan song of the warm, genuine Bergman but he never made it. The daunting challenge to pick up the banner fell to Ted Janes of Outdoor Life and, pouring through 300+ of Ray's best columns Mr. Janes did indeed produce "Fishing with Ray Bergman", in Ray's own words. "Fishing with Ray Bergman" is like going to the lakes and streams and creeks with the nicest, most knowledgable Dad of the nicest, most knowledgable fisherman you've ever met or heard of. Above I see you can buy it these days for 59 cents. "Fishing with Ray Bergman" for that price or fifty times that price is the best deal of any kind you'll ever make in your life. And if you could buy just one book with which to teach a kid, male or female, about the right ways and attitudes toward fishing and the outdoors... get out your 59 cents because "Fishing with Ray Bergman" is The One.
