Tales of Fishes By Zane Grey, Signed Book

Hodder and Stoughton 320 page edition of Grey's book on game fishing, circa 1925-30. Signed "Zane Grey" in purple ink on inside page. Dust jacket has slight damage. Originally published in 1919, Tales of Fishes is a wonderful collection of stories discussing different species of salt water fish. This lot is part of a substantial collection of items personally owned by Zane Grey. This entire grouping was consigned by the family of the late Norine Fife, the personal secretary to Romer Grey, Zane's son. She worked in Zane Grey's, and later Romer's, home in Altadena, California until Romer's death in 1976. Upon his death, the family gifted the contents of Zane's/Romer's office to Fife. These lots provide a glimpse into Zane Grey's private and very public life, from unfinished manuscripts to personal letters to decorative items. All lots come with a signed provenance letter.
