A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Combining his training as a marine biologist with his experience as a fisherman and his self-acquired skill as a gyotaku (Japanese fish print) maker, Christopher Dewees has managed to produce a volume that succeeds on multiple levels that are often considered mutually exclusive. Part field guide, part art book, part maritime history, part cooking hints, The Printer's Catch is divided into sections on 'life history,' 'fishery information,' and 'consumer information' for 32 families of fish and shellfish found between the California-Mexico border and Alaska."
- The Ridge Times Press, Medocino, California

"This is the best book we have come upon that describes and illustrates the fine art of gyotaku, the system of coating a fresh specimen with ink and transferring the ink to paper. The 63 color plates are all superb, including not only fish but invertebrates - crabs, prawns, squid, and shellfish."
- The Underwater Naturalist
