Bell, Don A.: Bamboo Rod Making: Making Split Bamboo Bait Casting Rods from Finished Blanks; 1936702339 / 9781936702336, New Book
2012 The Whitefish Press; Limited Edition,
As New 8vo Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
(Description) Limited to 100 Numbered copies. 7 x 5, small 8vo desktop sized. ***(Synopsis) In 1936, a rodmaker with thirty years of experience under his belt took out advertisements in the back of a number of sporting journals. His name was Don A. Bell, and he had just authored a book on rodmaking called Making Bamboo Rods. It was a book unique in the annals of rodmaking. Bell's book was not your ordinary rodmaker's work. Instead, it was an introductory work on one of the most overlooked of all the rodmaker's subjects: the split bamboo bait casting rod. In this work, Don A. Bell showed an appreciative Great Depression audience how to make a superb bait casting rod from a finished blank. With chapters on selecting bamboo, the parts of the two-piece casting rod, attaching the ferrules, winding, varnishing, rod staining, and even determining the weight and length of rods, it contains some charming descriptions of the rodmaker's art. With the text taken from the second updated edition, and with all of the original illustrations reproduced, this slender but elegant little volume may just teach you to appreciate the bamboo bait casting rod, and perhaps inspire you to make one yourself! It will certainly help you to better appreciate, understand, and identify the tell-tale sign of bamboo rods (both fly and bait casting) built by the techniques discussed in Bell's book. Long unavailable to even the most ardent collectors and book hounds, Bamboo Rod Making will now take its place on the shelf of students and historians of rodmaking. It will no longer be one of the forgotten rodmaking texts in history., AB01159.

2006 Random House; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Very Good DJ
(Description) Book near fine, unread. Jacket has creasing at bottom edge. Unclipped. ***(Synopsis) Thirty-five million Americansûone in eightûlike to go fishing. Fly fishers have always considered themselves the aristocracy of the sport, and a small number of those devotees, a few thousand at most, insist upon using one device in the pursuit of their obsession: a handcrafted split-bamboo fly rod. Meeting this demand for perfection are the inheritors of a splendid art, one that reveres tradition while flouting obvious economic sense and reaches back through time to touch the hands of such figures as Theodore Roosevelt and Henry David Thoreau., U00062.

Black, George: Casting a Spell : The Bamboo Fly Rod and the American Pursuit of Perfection; 1400063965 / 9781400063963, New Book
2006 Random House; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) In Casting a Spell, George Black introduces readers to rapt artisans and the ultimate talismans of their uncompromising fascination: handmade bamboo fly rods. But this narrative is more than a story of obscure objects of desire. It opens a new vista onto a century and a half of modern American cultural history. With bold strokes and deft touches, Black explains how the ingenuity of craftsmen created a singular implement of leisure-and how geopolitics, economics, technology, and outrageous twists of fortune have all come to focus on the exquisitely crafted bamboo rod. We discover that the pastime of fly-fishing intersects with a mind-boggling variety of cultural trends, including conspicuous consumption, environmentalism, industrialization, and even cold war diplomacy., AB00421.

Carmichael, Hoagy: 8 by Carmichael; 0984267727 / 9780984267729, New Book
2010 Anesha Publishing; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
As New 4to Hardcover, in Slipcase
(Synopsis) The new book 8 By Carmichael: Portraits of Fly Fishing Innovators Ed & Jim Payne, Chauncy Lively, Dr. George Parker Holden, and Vince Marinaro, along with a Short Collection of Stories is a book of essays and articles, some of which were previously published in the legendary The Angler's Club of New York Bulletin and in The American Fly Fisher and have always been difficult to locate. These wonderfully written and witty articles detail everything from the author's relationship to Vince Marinaro and Chauncy Lively to detailed and definitive articles on famed rodmakers George Parker Holden, the author of the influential Idyll of the Split Bamboo, and Ed & Jim Payne. In particular, the 50-page treatment of the Paynes will likely be the definitive work on the subject for the foreseeable future. Based on exhaustive research, it will serve as a fitting tribute to these masters of the split cane fly rod., AB01124.

Cattanach, Wayne: Handcrafting Bamboo Fly Rods; 155821769X / 9781558217690, New Book
2000 The Lyons Press; Revised Edition,
Near Fine 4to Hardcover, in Very Good DJ
(Description) Like new book in jacket with very small chip at top corner. *** (Synopsis) The bamboo fly rod represents the pinnacle of the fly-fishing art: its apparent simplicity and delicacy belie the craftsmanship and strength that are the hallmarks of all great rods. Wayne Cattanach begins in the Kwangsi and Kwantung provinces of China, where Tonkin bamboo takes about eight years to develop the qualities that distinguish it from all other materials: a tensile strength akin to steel, light in weight, with the flexibility that gives all bamboo rods their relaxed action. He describes the process that will take anyone from lengths of hard, raw bamboo to a beautiful finished rod with clear, step-by-step instructions, including how to: find the best supplies; select tools and materials; make and use heat treaters and binders; select rod taper, weight, and action; cut culms; straighten bamboo strips; primary and secondary planing; stagger bamboo strips; give proper heat treating; bind strips; apply finish; mount the reel seat, ferrules, and tip top; and much more. Scores of illustrations and line drawings demonstrate crucial techniques that before this book could only be guessed at, and Wayne's years of experience with pupils and bamboo are brought to bear at every step as his invaluable tips not only instruct, but also explain how to avoid common beginners' mistakes., AB00745.

1977 Martha's Glen Publishing Co; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Very Good+ 4to Hardcover, in Very Good+ DJ
(Description) Previous owner blind stamp and signature on back endpaper. Very slight bumps to DJ spine ends, and small (nickel-sized) stain at top of DJ spine 1 inch repaired tear at top. A very nice copy of the true first printing of this book. ***(Synopsis) Few who practice the fine art of flyfishing know anything about how their prize possession, their bamboo rod, was made or have ever considered making one themselves. This book explains in meticulous detail how one can follow the steps as laid out by the master of the hand made bamboo rod, Everett Garrison. The book begins by taking the reader through the many stages one needs to understand in order to build a bamboo rod. Over 370 photographs are included along with many illustrative and technical drawings. Next is the section on rod repair which includes several concepts which Garrison never divulged while he was alive. Following that is the chapter on rod taper design which is without question the most comprehensive work on the subject in print and a complete guide to anyone wishing to design his or her own fly rod. Finally there are listed many of Garrison's most popular rod tapers; something no rod maker has ever allowed to be published heretofore. With this book one has the first serious work written on the subject of bamboo rod building in over 25 years. The book is unusual in this world of fast foods and deteriorating craftmanship and shows the kind of care and devotion to the subject that Everett Garrison put into his rods., AB00122.
