Hard Cover. Condition: New. First Thus. 88 pp. Book: New, sealed in shrink wrap and slipcase. A collection of pieces from John McPhee's The Founding Fish in an elegant, beautifully illustrated Meadow Run Press edition. The Pulitzer Prize winning author is a national treasure--the author of twenty-six books. With vivid and spirited prose, McPhee masterfully weaves together the shad's natural history, his own angling history with the fish, along with the history of the early American settlers and the critical importance of this fish to their very existence. This is a large and compelling story. The misery and hunger of George Washington's troops at Valley Forge are palpable through McPhee's pen, as is their joy and salvation in the annual shad migration up the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. Early Philadelphia comes alive with vendor's shouts of "Shad-e-o! Shad-e-o!" announcing newly-arrived fish. And with fly rod in hand, the author travels to the Miramichi in advance of the Atlantic salmon run for some remarkable, memorable shad fishing--unknown to most fly fishermen. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author. Limited Edition.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Association copy, inscribed on the half title in the year of publication: "For Roy Newman, with the very best wishes of Randal Whitman, and with regards, too, from Randal s brother-in-law, John McPhee, 2002." Not sure who Roy Newman is presumably he s a fisher or at least "fish-interested," since this book is a deep dive into shad but it's always so fun to see McPhee also spell out the giver of the gift. As the inscription makes clear, McPhee is married to Randal's sister, Yolanda Whitman. Yolanda provided a shad dart illustration for The Founding Fish, and she also appears in the text on several occasions in the role of what you might call a fisherman s widow. She calls the cops, worried about John, when he s been out fishing too long. She also sets McPhee straight with a cutting remark (as she probably often does): "Catch-and-release fishing is analogous in a general way to the form of 'humane' bullfight that omits the kill Fishing is crueler than hunting, in that your goal is to have the fish fight for its life." Randal must be a proud brother. The book is near fine in a near fine jacket, with a few bumps to the boards corners and a streak of rubbing on the jacket where the paper transitions on the board beneath it. Pages are crisp as morning water. Please inquire for photos.
