From field to table, The Hunter's Guide to Butchering, Smoking, and Curing Wild Game and Fish gives you all you need to know to harvest your big game, small game, fowl, and fish.
Most experienced hunters agree that the real work begins after the animal is down. No hunt is complete until an animal has been properly field dressed and packed out of the field. What you do in the minutes after the fatal shot determines whether you will enjoy the savory flavors of wild meat, or find yourself with "gamy", unpalatable fare. For most of us, the experience of field dressing comes infrequently. In the intervening months (sometimes years) our memory of the proper techniques can grow rusty. That's where the "Pocket Guide to Field Dressing Game" comes in. Waterproof, dirt-proof, and stain-proof, it covers everything from basic field dressing to cutting up an animal in the field when it is too big to pack out in one piece. It even covers the proper techniques for cleaning game birds. This guide should find space in every hunter's pack, next to the hunting knife and game saw. Gilbert, a wildlife biologist, has hunted, fished, and guided throughout North America for over 35 years.

"A tribute to a time when style -- and maybe even life -- felt more straightforward, and however arbitrary, there were definitive answers." -- Sadie Stein, Paris Review As a glance down any street in America quickly reveals, American women have forgotten how to dress. We lack the fashion know-how we need to dress professionally and beautifully. In The Lost Art of Dress, historian and dressmaker Linda Przybyszewski reveals that this wasn't always true. In the first half of the twentieth century, a remarkable group of women -- the so-called Dress Doctors -- taught American women that knowledge, not money, was key to a beautiful wardrobe. They empowered women to design, make, and choose clothing for both the workplace and the home. Armed with the Dress Doctors' simple design principles -- harmony, proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis -- modern American women from all classes learned to dress for all occasions in ways that made them confident, engaged members of society. A captivating and beautifully illustrated look at the world of the Dress Doctors, The Lost Art of Dress introduces a new audience to their timeless rules of fashion and beauty -- rules which, with a little help, we can certainly learn again.
