This book was written by my Grandfather and dedicted to my mother. I got it as a gift for my oldest son who now lives and fishes in the rivere that Grandpa did in McMinnville Oregon. It was stated as a first edition singed by the auther. By the time my son opened it on his birthday he found that it was not signed anywhere. Very disapointed.The book is good as always but.......this is why I gave the store 2 star the book is 5 stars.
