J.Stanley Reeve was a famous American sportsman in the early twentieth century This is a first edition of this book, published by J.B. Lippincott of Philadelphia in 1928. Its original red dust cover is a little tatty but the bright red cover with gilt lettering and decoration is in very good condition. There is a price in pencil on the inside cover. There is a frontispiece, in color of a meet and a further 16 illustrations in doubletone. I am particularly fond of the image of the author's wife presenting a hound show trophy.
