Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition Assumed. 250 Pages. No marks of any sort and the text pages are bright, tight,and white. In addition to the eleven articles on Yellowstone There is: A Note on the Readings, Notes, Suggestions for Further Reading and Bibliography. Over thirty years after its original publication, former Yellowstone National Park archivist Paul Schullery's collection of travelers' accounts of their visits to the first national park still resonates with the tremendous impact the Park has had--and continues to have--as a wilderness and recreation destination. From John Muir's exultation of the beauty of "Wonderland" to Rudyard Kipling's hilarious invective of the American tourist, Old Yellowstone Days includes selections which form the best picture of what Yellowstone must have been like before the intrusion of the automobile. Updated with a new introduction by Schullery, new illustrations, and a new foreword by Yellowstone National Park Historian Lee Whittlesey, this volume, which takes its title from an article by Owen Wister, also includes the impressions of William O. Owen, Charles Dudley Warner, Theodore Roosevelt, John Burroughs, Mrs. George Cowan, George Anderson, Emerson Hough, and Frederic Remington. Comstock, David - Design (illustratore).…

Trade Paperback. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Trade Paper. 224 pp. Paul Schullery's Royal Coachman is a book about the lore, lure, and history of fly-fishing. 'Fly-fishing is this great adventure we have in a thousand little episodes,' he says, and in this book he writes about some of them with charm and wit. Reflecting on the history of the sport, from its reputed origins in Europe centuries past (and casting a suspicious eye on the so-called first fly-fishing author, who published five hundred years ago) to its more recent history in the United States (where, says Schullery, the founding fathers might have ventured out to Philadelphia's streamside banks for a little relaxation), Schullery recounts some of his own experiences as well as those of some of fly-fishing's legendary and quirky practitioners. 'Knowing more about early American trout fishing only allows me to stretch that connection back further, to give me even more stories to remember, and more dreams to share,' he writes. Schullery celebrates some lesser-known fishermen and some seldom-appreciated waters, such as the limestone streams of Pennsylvania. He muses on the pursuit of the ever-more perfectly 'natural' fly and contrasts that quest with the storied success of the royal coachman, perhaps the gaudiest fly ever invented. He writes about rods, about his fellow fishing writers, about fishing etiquette, and about the true definition of a 'trout bum' (his requirements are surprisingly rigorous). He compares trout fishing in the East with trout fishing in the Rockies, both of which he has done for extended periods of time. This is an irresistible book, written with grace, humor, and intelligence. Trout magazine called Schullery 'our preeminent angling historian' while the Los Angeles Times referred to him as 'a keen raconteur' and Newsweek dubbed him fly-fishing's 'gentle ironist.' Royal Coachman is his finest book yet. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2008). 2008 1st edition thus. 16mo (105 x 159mm). Pp114. B/w illustrations taken from old engravings, brief bibliography, black, decoratively grained end-papers. Powder-blue, decoratively grained paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine unread copy in dust-wrapper. A carefully re-edited version of William Stewart's The Practical Angler: or the Art of Trout Fishing, More Particularly Applied to Clear Water. Since this series deals exclusively with flyfishing, the "chapters on equipment, worm, natural mayfly and minnow fishing and loch fishing have been omitted from this sampler as falling outside the scope of this series." In addition, this edition omits the plates of flies included in the original edition. "William Stewart's writings burst upon the angling world in 1857 in a flurry of acclaim and controversy. Stewart aimed to reshape the angling habits of his day. His forceful arguments on behalf of upstream fishing and his advocacy of shorter, stiffer fly rods were an important influence in the rise of dry-fly fishing. .Many of the rationales behind practices that we take for granted today were first and best expressed by Stewart." The publishers claim this to be the first American edition of The Practical Angler. PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 12.95.…

B/w line illustrations, new bibliography, black, decoratively grained end-papers. Powder-blue, decoratively grained paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight shelf-wear but a fine new unread copy in dust-wrapper. Carefully selected excerpts from Mottram's "Fly-fishing: Some New Arts and Mysteries," widely regarded as one of the most innovative fishing books ever written. Mottram was a radiologist. His scientific training gave him great advantages as an investigative trout angler. His fly patterns for nymphs, smuts and "silhouette" duns were years ahead of their time. These patterns date from pre-1915! Mottram's book delves in some depth into all corners of the art of flyfishing and remains as important today as it was ninety years ago. This abridgement retains Mottram's highly amusing chapter "In 2014," where fish of the future are cossetted in highly regulated artificial fisheries and caught and released by anglers who know them individually by names such as 'Brown Beauty.' This of course could never happen in real life! A well-designed and nicely presented new edition which provides an excellent preliminary to further exploration of James Mottram's work.

Carefully selected excerpts from the writings of the author of the classic American Angler's Book of 1864. "It was regarded as the foremost reference work well into the next century, and Norris is still affectionately evoked for his amazing breadth of knowledge, his friendly sense of humour, and his extraordinary grasp not only of how to catch fish but why we anglers are so passionate about doing so. .From his wise portrayal of the many types of anglers to the biology and behaviour of the native American brook trout, Norris set a standard for American angling thought that educated and inspired succeeding generations. his essay on essay on the joys of fly fishing alone is .a milestone of angling philosopy that set the tone for .many later writers from Arnold Gingrich to Ernest Schwiebert to John Gierach."

Carefully selected excerpts from the writings of G.E.M. Skues. "George Edward Mackenzie Skues has been described not only as the father of nymph fishing, but as the greatest fly fisher who ever lived. He was also a modest, humorous and warmly companionable writer whose writings never lost sympathy for his fellow anglers. .Skues's books established him as a masterful angling theorist. .They revealed him to be an extraordinary observer of the trout's world. [This book] excerpts his pathbreaking observations and insights into how trout live. His study of wild trout was the most penetrating examination of trout-fishing natural history yet published - a brilliant work eloquently adapted to the needs of the fly fisher Skues had a rare gift for sifting through many generations' accumulation of opinion and advice, keeping only what was truly useful and adapting it to the needs of the modern angler in a rapidly changing world." A nicely designed and presented new abridgement which provides an excellent preliminary to further exploration of the work of GEM Skues. . …
