Altizer, Michael: The Last Best Day: A Trout Fisher's Perspective; 0977855163 / 9780977855162, New Book
2007 Sporting Classics; Limited Edition, Signed by the Author
As New 8vo Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
Note, this Limited Edition cover not the same as pictured here. ***(Synopsis) The Last Best Day is not a book about how to fly fish, but instead about what fly fishing means and how it feels and where it can lead, both in body and in spirit. Its 40 stories are strung together only loosely and may be taken individually or as a whole. Collectively they lead from the creeks and rivers of the Appalachians, to the high country and deserts streams of the American Southwest, to the great salmon, rainbow and grayling waters of Alaska, and then back to the little brook trout stream where the snow monster lives. They take you to places you may never have dared venture - and in the end they take you home. But wherever they take you, you will remember the journey., AB00973.

Babb, James R.: Crosscurrents: A Fly Fisher's Progress; 1558219463 / 9781558219465, New Book
1999 The Lyons Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Very Good 8vo Hardcover, in Very Good+ DJ
(Description) Slight bumps to corners, else a near-new copy of this book. Signed by the Author and Nick Lyons, the Publisher. *** (Synopsis) Jim Babb is one of the most eccentric and riveting new voices to appear in the world of fly fishing in many years. From his early days growing up in a small eastern Tennessee town to his migration through Brahmin Boston to the backwoods of Maine (where he built his own house, by hand), Babb's story is as unique as it is brilliantly told. He explores his first fly rods in Blue Collar Cane; his early use of the wet fly; and the expeditions he made for bream. Always, he fly fishes with a maverick genius, building a way of seeing and experiencing the world of fly fishing that is all his own, and that carries him from the ponds of Maine to great fly-fishing opportunities throughout the world as editor of Gray's Sporting Journal. What rings on every page of this book, writes Ted Lesson, is a tremendously energetic, expressive, and robust voice... It is distinctive and original, an authentic voice, pure homegrown. And the story that voice tells is always connected to fly fishing-in waters near and far, always memorable., AB00478.

Babb, James R.: River Music: A Fly Fisher's Four Seasons; 1585742791 / 9781585742790, New Book
2001 The Lyons Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Very minor bump at top of spine. Signed by both Babb and Nick Lyons, the Publisher!! *** (Synopsis) James Babb is one of the funniest essayists at work today, and each of the ribald tales in RlVER MUSIC is imbued with his devastating wit, ornery perspective, and musical language. As he writes in the Prelude, his newest opus is about the occasional laugh, the occasional thought, a bit about fly fishing and a bit about Life, and all of it underpinned by the music of rivers. The pieces are arranged by season, as are our lives, and touch on the music that rivers make.He recounts a disastrous - and hilarious - spring canoeing trip with a friend in The Darling Buds of May, where the snow accumulated so quickly on their hats that they looked like Conehead voyageurs from Rem-ulak. In The Coriolis Effect, Babb rhapsodizes about the sights, smells, and culture of what he considers to be the last great place on Earth, where pristine Chilean waters and native way of life relieve him of an obsession about which direction the water flushes. And in Little Jewels, he weaves an exquisite, deeply humorous, and haunting nocturne with peccadillo accompaniment that considers the mating habits of trout and men, mortality, and a thirty-nine-year-long unrequited love., AB00440.

Barich, Bill: Crazy for Rivers; 1558217053 / 9781558217058, New Book
1999 The Lyons Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
As New 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) A lyrical reminiscence of a magical autumn of fishing-and a lifetime love affair with rivers. That autumn, I went a little crazy for rivers, and this charming little volume captures the essence of an admittedly insidious obsession. To some, the recollections here will betray that the author is, indeed, crazy. But to anyone who remembers the unending patience of a grandfather on a lake, or the romance of a mountain getaway with a girlfriend who has since become a wife; to anyone who can recall each fish caught on days that were too hot, or way too cold, or on rivers too crowded or in canyons too steep; to anyone who has appreciated the trust of an age-old fishing partner, or the trust of a complete stranger sharing a special hole.. to anyone, in fact, who has ever felt a little crazy for rivers, Bill Barich's wonderful memories of a season of rivers and a lifetime of fishing will not seem crazy at all., AB00439.

Barilla, James: West with the Rise; Fly-fishing across America; 0813925371 / 9780813925370, New Book
2006 Univ. of Virgina Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Brand new unread, clean and tight. *** (Synopsis) The first book to follow a fly-fishing trip from coast to coast, West with the Rise is James Barilla's account of a solitary journey that begins in New England and ends in Northern California, with little more to keep him company than a secondhand pickup bought just for the trip, a pair of Nikes he cannot seem to keep dry (they're literally decomposing before his eyes), and the graphite stick and reel that the fly fisher reaches for before he has even fully awoken. The progression from the spring creeks of the East to the big sky country and its nearly mythic trout streams represents more than a search for better fishing. It marks for Barilla the transition from the Massachusetts of his childhood to the West that has become his home as an adult., AB00887.
