ROUGH SHOOT: SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE OWNER-KEEPER. By Captain E.H. Lynn-Allen.
(1942) later reprint. 8vo (143 x 222mm). Pp160. Colour frontispiece, b/w illustrations by the Master of Elphinstone, pictorial end-papers.
The object of this book "is to help those who have leisure, but strictly limited finances, to obtain a further measure of enjoyment from their relatively small shooting acreage. ...A collection of facts and suggestions which may be helpful to those of us who must run their own shoots without professional aid." Useful and readable with some good pencil sketches. Remarkably, this book was written and illustrated in an Austrian prisoner of war camp in 1941, and published in Britain only a year later.
