THE BOOK OF THE FLYFISHERS' CLUB, 1884-1934. De Luxe issue "in buff lambskin."

ND (1934) 1st edition. Small 4to (185 x 255mm). Pp93. Illustrated with a colour frontispiece (cartoon of "The Flyfishers' Club Arrives At Loch Ness 1933" with "key" to names on tissue overlay) and 11 b/w plates, 10 of them photographs, and a text drawing. Printed on thick paper in black and red. Binding A. Full tan calf, gilt lined, gilt title and emblem (open fishing creel) of the Flyfishers' Club on upper board. Spine untitled. This scarce issue is almost certainly that described below as "in buff lambskin".

"The only reference I have found to an 'edition de luxe' is in respect of two copies 'in buff lambskin' that were presented to two guests of honour at the Jubilee Dinner. However it would be reasonable to suppose that other copies were made up for senior officers of the Club and the anonymous editors. Intuitively a de luxe edition of perhaps 20 copies is suggested."
