Recreation and Games

A fifth edition of the ultimate book on the domino game of 42, a Texas tradition

One of America’s leading journalists probes the recreational lives of people of all ages, examining what Americans do for recreation, from rock climbing to rodeo, sumo wrestling to slow-pitch softball, boomerangs to bowling,

Rudy Grigar, one of America’s most notorious characters of saltwater wade-fishing, lends the inimitable voice of experience to these yester yarns of the coastal waters of Texas and Louisiana. A fisherman’s fisherman, Grigar claimed to have caught more than a million pounds of fish in his sixty years along the coast. Yet fervent and abiding concern for those waters spurred his commitment to a catch-and-release policy for all fish under three pounds and to Gulf Coast conservation. His tales and tips are the bible of those now wading the Plugger’s favorite spots.
