This group contains the first edition of "A Dictionary of Fishes" which continued to the next century as a large selling and popular book. Stu Apte, at least up to 1982, was the holder of more than 20 world records, and here tells where and how to catch the "big ones." Apte's books have many detailed and clear maps of the Florida Keys and useful information of fish locations.
