Mills / with the compliments of / Ernest R. Gee / New York / April 1945." While there is disagreement as to whether this volume is one of the Derrydale Press works Frazier states: "But the book and its design paper binding and style are so obviously Derrydale in spirit and influence that one has only to put itside by side with Connett's American Trout Streams.produced the same year 1926 or Connett's own Magic Hours produced the following year to see how this book and the books of the Press came together. The only question would be whether Ernest Gee had more influence on Connett in 1926 or whether Connett had more influence on Gee in this important year when together they formed the group that formed the press." Frazier In Ernest Gee's catalogue No. 10 printed around 1928 he lists this title in two areas. In one instance he states "A small privately printed edition." and in the other mention he declares "Edition limited to 330 copies" with no mention of a Deluxe state.
