Letter from the printer to a "Trout Unlimited Member" thanking them for reviewing the book and detailing the 24 titles available in the library (with an invitation to return the list to limit receipt of future copies and a return envelope).

Krug, diagrams in line by Ivin Sickles.
The quintessential book on how, why and where to catch trout. The author’s dedication: To you all, the many good fellows I know and have fished with, and those whose paths may never cross mine except through the medium of these pages. This is my visit with you, our fishing adventure together. I trust it will be enjoyable, instructive, and memorable. When I am gone; when all who now read these pages have passed beyond, I hope that Trout will continue to live, perhaps to instill in future generations a love and understanding of angling.
