This features an introduction by Sean Hemingway and a forward by Patrick Hemingway, so the great man's estate is obviously on board. This is a companion book to Hemingway on Fishing which of course features angling excerpts. I'll take Robert Ruark's stories about hunting and fishing over those of Papa H any day. 4/10.
