“The Further Adventures of the One-Eyed Poacher” is Edmund Ware Smith’s 6th book and probably his most sought after title. It is the only book he put out that contained just One-Eyed Poacher stories. Put out in 1947 by Crown Publishing, it is much like a Derrydale Press book, with similar binding and type. It was even put out in a signed and numbered edition of 750, which is somewhat scarce. The trade edition came out with a nicely illustrated dust jacket. A. Lassell Ripley did the illustrations for this volume, as he had for several other Smith books. The book starts out with a very heartfelt dedication to Smith’s father. One can see the influence this man had on his son.
