Hello how may I help you? hello. do you know what that book about whale hunting is named? Do you know anything else about the book to help me narrow the search? it is an old book about whale hunting Could you be talking about the novel Moby Dick? no, it is not Moby Dick. it is a different book. The only book that I could think of matching whale hunting is Moby Dick it was from the 1940's and it has around 300 pages. Are you sure the book is not Moby Dick? That is my only suggestion yes, i am sure Sorry I was unable to help more
