Cutthroat: Native Trout of the West Book

This is another book I designed (with expert [and speedy] help from designer Gary Robbins). It's due out this month from the University of California Press. It's a hybrid of my three categories of books: a meal (one can read it from beginning to end--consume it); a machine (it is a reference that one can return to--using it over and over again); and a metaphor (it's an excellent coffee table book--richly illustrated by Joseph Tomelleri's impeccable art, one can use it to proudly announce one's deep piscatorial interests). Trotter's writing is deep but human, and the extensive bibliography is well-worth the price of admission. This book is a must-have for the literate trout fisherman (and let's face it, trout fishermen/women are an extremely literate bunch!).
