THE GUN IN THE FIELD. By W.H.T. Long ("Scolopax").
1948 1st edition. 8vo (131 x 197mm). Pp283. B/w illustrations by Nigel Lovett. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt.
A good and comprehensive look at game and rough shooting with much on the techniques of shotgun shooting and some good anecdotes. By "Scolopax" of The Field". This book consists of a selection from essays which have appeared in The Field. Almost all of them have been written during World War II. While the more technical ones dealing with guns and the art of shooting might nearly have been written at any time, many of the others show traces of the influence of total war upon field sport. Apology must be made for certain repetition, which is inevitable in the case of a book composed entirely of essays, each complete in itself, contributed week by week to the Press".
