King, George. That’s Ruff!, Reflections from Grouse Country. Concord house Publishing. 2010. 1st ed, 2nd prntg. 272pp. This is the very best book on grouse,grouse hunting and grouse hunters to come out in many, many years. It easily ranks with Burton Spiller,William Harnden Foster, and George Bird Evans. None other than H. G.(Tap) Tapply said, “…delightful in every way; funny, insightful, sentimental, affectionate and a true reflection of how grouse hunters feel about grouse, grouse dogs, grouse guns, grouse covers, and grouse hunting partners…” Witty, whimsical, serious, funny, it will bring out many emotions, mostly happy ones. Remember the "Ancient And Honorable Order of Brush Worn Partridge Hunters"? George was the man who invented it and wrote and published Grouse Covers in the early 1970's. He is the man who got Crown Publishers to reprint Spiller's classics, Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers, which were only available in the original Derrydale editions, both expensive and difficult to find. It is a great read, and as good on second reading as the first. It will become a classic. Don’t let this one slip away, buy it NOW! Literally hot of the press, they will be here on or about July 5 2012. Order now, and I will fill orders in the order they are received as soon as the books arrive after July 5. Illus by the author. Brand New in like dj. hunting, grouse, ruffed grouse, gun dogs, outdoor humor. $29.95
