It's got a bunch of piece of paper in it, all with information about Alligator Gar.


Or maybe this:
Season of the Gar is a fang-infested, monster-headed, armor-plated romp through the prehistoric swamps and murky rivers of America’s most feared and demonized fish. Follow Mark Spitzer on his lengthy and often frustrating quest from Texas and Louisiana, Missouri, and Arkansas to catch his own gar. Read about his sometimes bizarre angling adventures in search of this air-breathing freshwater giant (up to ten feet in length and well over three hundred pounds) as he separates fact from fiction. Spitzer draws on folklore, science, history, his own pet gar, and even gar recipes to tell this unique and exciting literary eco-tale about a fish that has inspired imaginations for centuries, a fish many have hated, a fish many have thrown on the shore to die.
 
Just watched River Monsters last night.. and they had that episode on... w/ him. Looks like an interesting read. =D And made me reconsider my future ponds inhabitants.. =>

No offense but that description makes the book sound less appealing to me. I'd love a book just loaded on information about all seven species of gar. River Monsters in book form just sounds boring to me, especially since I can buy gator gars online while he is crossing the country to bag one.

my two cents. :D
