Customer Reviews

A little dated, but incredibly informative for its time.

This wonderful book inspired me incredibly as a child, and led to my thirst for gathering as much knowledge as I possibly could about these wonderful creatures. Although it is now a little dated, the information it contains is incredible for its time. From fishing techniques, to first hand accounts of attacks, to amazing facts on shark biology, this book has it all. My sincerest compliments to Mr. Robert Burgess on his masterpiece.
