Soft cover. Zustand: Fair. 1st Edition. Reading copy only. Ex Library. Lew Sutherland was already well known for his earlier guides such as A Hunting and Tramping Guide to Westland (1973), but A Sea of Gold is a more reflective, narrative?driven book. It captures the richness of New Zealand's hunting tradition, weaving together personal stories, practical experience, and a sense of cultural continuity. The title itself suggests both the abundance of the natural world and the treasure?like quality of the hunting life he describes.
