Are You A Gunner? 
Do you love to follow your good dog over the fields in search of quail or chickens, or to struggle

the twitter of the fall woodcock ? If so, you should have this new book. 
AMERICAN GAME BIRD SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
(New—Just Published) 
This companion volume to “American Duck Shooting” treats of the upland game which American 
sportsmen shoot over dogs—wocdcc \k, snipe, all the quail, grouse and turkeys. 
The first part of the volume is devoted to a description of the various species and their habits—the 
way in which they live their lives. 
The second part of the book is devoted to upland shooting and treats of the methods by which all the 
upland birds are pursued and taken. The chapter “Aids to Shooting” describes the clothing, guns, 
and loads and dogs that the gunner may profitably use; while the last section of the book treats of the 
shooting of the future and the efforts to rear our native quail and grouse in domestication. 
The volume is illustrated by colored plates of ruffed grouse and quail, and 48 full page portraits of 
different game birds and hunting scenes, with a number of cuts in the text. 
Cloth. About 575 pages. Price $3.50, net. Postage 25 cents. 
This book is of inestimable value. It contains the genuine hunter- 
naturalist facts given in the most entertaining and interesting style.

JACK SERIE 
Best Books For Boys 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
T HE solution of the parents’ problem of providing for the growing boy reading at once healthy and 
satisfying to his craving for action and adventure. In the Jack Books the longing of the normal boy 
for Western stories is gratified, the interest is absorbed and the mind is unconsciously led to phases 
of life that are ele\ iting and instructive. 
The books are rhe story of a young New York lad, sent to Stillwater ranch in the Rockies for his health, 
who becomes the companion of a veteran of the frontier. For each of six succeeding years he is led through 
new territory and experiences, accumulating much of the lore of plain and mountain, enriched with tales of 
the old West. 
Ranch life, travel and hunting on the lonely plains, Indian camps, mountain 
climbing, trapping and canoeing are described. There is not a dull page, and the 
author manages to put much of the spirit of the West into his books. Jack is a 
real boy, and the books are stories for live boys—not lectures in disguise. 
$1.25 per volume, postpaid. $7.50 per set
