    This book clocks in at just under 200 pages and it's entirely about Moe's experiences commercial fishing. It is full of information about organizing fishing strikes (even a comic about one!), and Moe's 'double life' as a deckhand during fishing season and as a starving artist in any one of several metro American cities. The details about the history and struggles and joys involved in the commercial fishing industry. Like how the price of salmon has gone down considerably over the years and all of the expenses involved have stayed the same or gotten pricier. It's an interesting read about something that I knew NOTHING about. Plus, it's pocket sized.
