Synopsis
Whether you personally choose one out of a tank at an upscale restaurant or break his claws with a hammer at a seafood dive, the American lobster remains the Northeast's most commercially valuable animal. Tragically, both overfishing and environmental concerns threaten one of the most enduring and endearing of Northeastern professions--lobstering. In his latest work, Peter K. Prybot, a Gloucester lobsterman himself for forty-six years, writes boldly and passionately about hi calling. With an insider's grasp of the details, he spins for l and lubbers a fascinating narrative about the lobster industry, introducing its pioneers, its development and even some of today's salt-crusted lobstermen. Personally concerned with the future of his profession, Prybot writes with hope for the future, but he keeps a keen eye on the dangers that threaten this great American heritage. Witty, funny and at times heart-wrenching, Prybot's tale of the intertwined lives of the American lobster and the men who chase it is a testament to Gloucester's deeply-rooted ties to the ocean and its marine life., Cape Ann lobsterman Peter K. Prybot writes boldly and passionately about his calling, spinning for landlubbers a fascinating narrative about the lobster industry, introducing its pioneers, its development and even some of today's salt-crusted lobstermen. Witty, funny and at times heart-wrenching, Prybot's tale of the intertwined lives of the American lobster and the men who chase it is a testament to Gloucester's deeply rooted ties to the ocean and its marine life.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
