Hello Bob, I received yesterday afternoon your shipment, and thank-you for your excellent service and fine packaging. The book is in superb condition in all respects! My late Uncle, M.C. Tweedy, was a Member of theTuna Club Avalon California. He was quite the Big Game Fisherman, many trips from Balboa, CA, to Catalina... searching for Marlin, and Broadbill Swordfish, most every week in the season, aboard his lovely boat EDNA. He caught a Swordfish 256 lbs, Sept.12,1935! 3 hrs, 45min time!
