About this Item
New York. The Derrydale Press. 1939. Limited Edition. Both volumes signed by Haig-Brown on the half-title. Two Volumes. Vol. 1: 200 pp. Vol. 2: 191 pp. including index. Quarto (10 1/2 x 8). This is a mixed numbered set. Volume 1 is number 560 and volume 2 is number 552 of 950 sets published. Color frontispiece showing artificial flies in each volume. Exquisite color plates of fish by E.B.S. Logier. Black and white photos. Text drawings. Foreword by C. McC. Mottley. Since its publication long ago, Haig-Brown's masterful treatment of fly fishing in the Pacific Northwest remains the most comprehensive and thorough account published. This set at one time belonged to former Washington state legislator Charles H. Todd with his signature in both volumes. Mr. Todd was a lifelong Democrat (and in today's world, it's the only sane major political body in the U.S.) and one of Seattle's most well-known attorneys and an accomplished fly fisherman. The two volumes bound in their original red cloth with gilt titles and decorations. There's some light soiling to the covers, otherwise this is a very good set. Signed copies of the Derrydale Press edition are scarce. Seller Inventory # 010801

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
