Game Pie - An Anthology of Shooting

Originally published in 1925, this is a wonderful anthology of shooting writing, collecting excerpts from the best and the brightest shooting writers of their day. Full of humour, valuable information and some hauntingly beautiful poetry and writing about the joys of the field, this is an asset to any shooting man's library. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
