I have the first 5-8 years or so ... also have the original W&S and Waterfowl editions. Not sure why I have kept them.
Overtime, this company evolved to primarily a commercial "G&O" advertisement and thus essentially became an expensive promo catalog. Some of the original writers (Hill, Vance, etc) had a strong reputation in the outdoor sports writer world ... this seemed to wither away too and their replacements wrote only of stories where they hunted said commercial operation T in State K with boot reps and shell reps ...
Look at a copy now and them at a store, but see have not made it to the cash register ...
