Has anyone bought and read this book being sold by Fur Fish and Game magazine? Its written by Tom Miranda and with shipping is about $60. I usually don't spend that much for a book but if it's a good read it might be worth it.

Very good book. Opened my eyes on some of the names in trapping and lure/bait making.

Thank you to everybody for responding. I believe I will go ahead and order it.
I have lots of good books but it seems harder and harder to find books that I really enjoy.

Worth every penny. I absolutely loved it. I really liked the way he blended his life story along with the master trappers. The man has seen some country.

Good 20th history of some of the trappers that made it great. May get real hard to get a first edition real fast. I have been a big fan of Tom's work from his early days. It is worth the price.
