Book Details

First Sentence

"The delights and difficulties of tarpon fishing are many; first, you must find the fish; second, you must wait for one to bite; third, you must hook him when he does bite; fourth, you must land the fish after you succeed in hooking him; fifth, act like a human being after the landing, for you will then have a brain storm which I have called "Tarpomania", causing you to believe that you have landed the greatest fish ever caught, and giving you for quite a time afterward a peculiar and wild look about your eyes; sixth, give a fair and rational account of the fight without losing your reputation as a conservative and truthful person."

Eldridge Reeves Johnson (American, Feb. 6, 1867 - Nov. 14, 1945) was an inventor and entrepreneur. Based on the strength of his 1896 invention of a spring-driven gramophone motor, Johnson founded the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1901. The slogan “His Master's Voice,” which featured a dog listening intently to a gramophone, became the company's logo and was recognized around the world. The company faltered in the 1920s, and was acquired by Radio Corporation of America in 1929 to became RCA Victor, at which point the logo utilizing Nipper the dog was created.
