Books by Russell Annabel

If you have hunted in Alaska, or dream of doing so, you will definitely enjoy Annabel's books. He spent the summer and fall months in Alaska with his family, guiding fishermen and hunters. In the winter and early spring he went to Mexico where he guided fishermen (and where he also had a secret second family!). He embelished many of his stories and some are pure fiction, but entertaining nonetheless. Hemingway called Annabel "the best outdoor writer I every read".

A book is a first edition if it is so stated on the copyright page, and, usually, if the year on the title page is the same as the copyright.

	1997. Second edition (first trade edition). Years 1970-1979. 347 pages. Illustrated by Louise Lopina. Book is in Near Fine condition with a fine DJ.
