A scarce promotional pamphlet published by the Anticosti Corporation, the paper consortium that purchased Anticosti from the French Chocolate magnate Henri-Menier, to attract salmon fishermen. The text gives a general overview of the island, detailed descriptions of each of the island's salmon streams, a sample fishing diary, and information about travel to and accommodations on the remote island. There are a number of editions of this pamphlet: this copy's edition and year of publication are not specified, however 1930 is the latest date mentioned in the text and so one can assume that this is an early edition. Bruns p. 25-26.
