Gierach, John: Another Lousy Day in Paradise; 0684824248 / 9780684824246, New Book
1996 Simon & Schuster; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Fine Hardcover, Fine
(Synopsis) Good fishing and good writing use the same skills. Whether you're after a trout or a story, you won't get far with brute force. You're better off to watch, wait and remain calm, just putting yourself in the place where the thing lives and letting it all happen, rather than trying to make it happen... Basically the world is a big, dumb trout, and you're a fisherman with all the time in the world. Whether it's fishing for trout in Labrador, for salmon in Scotland, or at the Big Lip Invitational in Montana - fly fishing's only carp tournament - it's just Another Lousy Day In Paradise for acclaimed author and self-described trout bum John Gierach as he writes about the agonies and ecstasies of the fishing life., AB00177.

Gierach, John: At The Grave Of The Unknown Fisherman; 0743229924 / 9780743229920, New Book
2003 Simon & Schuster; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
As New Hardcover, in As New DJ
(Synopsis) At the Grave of the Unknown Fisherman marks a significant event for John Gierach and his legion of fans. It is his first book of linked essays on a single theme, his first unified book on his favorite topic; the vagaries of the fishing life. Gierach takes readers with him through the year, from his early spring forays out of his house after resisting the temptation to go ice-fishing, to the end of the season in his beloved Rocky Mountains, when the snows begin to pile up and getting to the river is all but impossible. In between he travels to Wyoming and Nebraska, among other places, to fish and muse on the fishing life. He writes about his fishing buddies and how they invariably deem every trip a success even when, he says, the best that could be said is that none of us drowned. He contrasts trout and carp (or lowly carp), observing that if you wanted to sip white wine and discuss poetry, your companion would be a trout, but if wanted to dig a ditch, you'd want a carp., AB00405.

Gierach, John: Dances With Trout; 0671779206 / 9780671779207, New Book
1995 Fireside; Later Edition, Signed by the Author
Near Fine Mass Market Paperback,
(Synopsis) This wide-ranging and consistently entertaining collection by the world's most talked-about fishing writer will delight readers of Trout Burn and win him many new admirers. In Dances with Trout, Gierach roams from Alaska to Texas to Scotland in search of good fishing and even better fish stories. He has perceptive observations to make about such quintessential experiences as getting lost, anticipating a storm, fishing at night, and taking part in a fishing contest - a contest whose rules specified normal fishing conditions, which to him means fishing with a mild hangover. Dances with Trout also lets readers in on Gierach's tested hunting techniques, such as his method of waiting quietly in the woods, reading a good book, and looking up occasionally to see if any deer happen to have wandered into view. At once wise and irreverently witty, this is Gierach's most enjoyable collection yet; as one reviewer put it, he reads the water and goes with the flow, taking the reader effortlessly along with him ., AB00330.

Gierach, John: Even Brook Trout Get the Blues; 0671779214 / 9780671779214, New Book
1992 Simon & Schuster; Deluxe Edition, Signed by the Author
Near Fine Half-leather, in Slipcase
(Description) This is number 10 of 110 copies of the deluxe limited edition of of this title. Plus this copy does include the hand-colored, numbered brook trout lithograph that was intended for inclusion with all the limited editions, though some seem to have been sold separately. The print is also numbered 10 of 110. Book is in near fine condition in a very good cloth covered slipcase. *** (Synopsis) Assembled here are 16 lively essays on his Rocky Mountain home streams, farm ponds, dogs and the peculiarity of fishing companions. Every Gierach story, while loaded with lore, is finally about trying to fit the odd but compelling perspectives that fishing bestows into accepted conventions of 20th-century sanity. In a funny, self-reflective mode that owes much to the writings of Richard Brautigan and Tom McGuane, Gierach highlights the fly fisher's single-minded devotion to the sport, with its elements of art, to suggest that the eccentricity is a very real wisdom: That is why we like to wander around the mountains with expensive flyrods: to get a taste of things the way they really are. His reflections persuade as they entertain. - Publishers Weekly, AB00374.
