2006 Random House; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 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 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.
