"Of the many wonderful friends I have been fortunate enough to make during a lifetime of fishing, Ernest Hemingway rates at the top of the list": First edition of S. Kip Farrington Jr.'s Fishing With Hemingway and Glassell; inscribed by him
First edition of S. Kip Farrington's twenty-first book, a tribute to close friends a fellow fishermen Ernest Hemingway and Alfred Glassell, Jr. Octavo, original half cloth, cartographic endpapers, illustrated with photographs. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page in the year of publication, "For my friend Bill Mote, a great American, Floridian, angler, sportsman, shot and author whose scientific learnings and deeds have done so much with so many. From the Mote Marine Laboratory , + all my thanks with your help with this book Always S. Kip Farrington Mar 23-71." The recipient, William R. Mote founded one of the earliest marine research laboratories in Florida, the Cape Haze Marine Laboratory in Placida, Florida, in 1955. It was later renamed the Mote Marine Laboratory in honor of him and his contributions to marine biology. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Lawrence Ratzkin.
In this, his twenty-first book, Kip Farrington returns to a first love with zest and enthusiasm. In one neat package is the feel of the open sea, the joy of good companionship, and the thrill of landing a record billfish or tuna. The reader is in the boat with Papa Hemingway off Bimini or at his home in Cuba, and at Alfred Glassell's shoulder when he takes the "the world's greatest fish" - the 1,560-pound black marlin caught off Cabo Blanco, Peru.
