RODERICK L. HAIG-BROWN.

Alison’s Fishing Birds. {Limited Edition Signed with Two Additional Hand-Colored Plates Laid-in}.

Vancouver, British Columbia. Colophon Books. 1980. Quarto. (10 1/2 x 7 1/4). 40 pp. Limited Edition (First State). Book number 377 of 500 copies published. Signed by Valerie Haig-Brown at the conclusion of her Preface. A hand colored Kingfisher drawn by Jim Rimmer as frontispiece, tipped-in on the title page, signed and dated by him. Laid-in this book are two additional hand colored Kingfisher plates by Jim Rimmer; quite attractive and suitable for framing. Hand colored chapter headings showing the five bird species encountered by Alison - Dipper - Kingfisher - Heron - Mergansers and Osprey. Text illustrations showing Alison with the five birds. "Alison" was likely a composite of Haig-Brown’s two young daughters, Valerie and Mary. The story was originally penned by Roderick Haig-Brown in 1939-1940. "It is rather well worth writing about all Alison's birds," Haig-Brown wrote, and indeed it is. It’s a charming book for all ages. The book is bound in gray cloth with gilt titles on the spine and and a blind-stamped Osprey on the front cover. A nice book. Fine.

This is the second state binding in green cloth with 22 copies published in 1998. The text sheets in this book were originally printed in 1980 by the Twin Doves Bindery in Victoria, B. C.; not all the sheets were bound in grey cloth at that time. The binder retained possession of 22 copies of the unbound sheets and in 1998 bound them in green cloth with gilt titles on the spine. One more thing. The binder misspelled "Alison’s" on the book’s spine as "Allison’s". The book is bound in green cloth with gilt titles on the spine and a blind-stamped Osprey on the front cover. A nice book. Fine. Signed by Author and Illustrator.

RODERICK HAIG-BROWN. [EDITED BY VALERIE HAIG-BROWN].

Excerpts from The Diaries of Roderick Haig-Brown 1927-1929 & 1932-1933. Six Volumes. (together with) Framed Broadside: Excerpted from The Diaries of Roderick Haig-Brown. Mounted with Haig-Brown's Fly Pattern, the Golden Girl. {Special Edition}.

THE DIARIES: Salem, Oregon. The Beaverdam Press. 1992. Octodecimo (6 x 4 1/2). Limited Edition. Set number 26 of 150 sets (about 75 sets of the planned 150 were bound and sold). Signed by Valerie Haig-Brown, Richard Bunse & the publisher, Earle Henness. Six Volumes: Vol. 1, 77 pp. Vol. 2, 76 pp. Vol. 3, 77 pp. Vol. 4, 75 pp. Vol. 5, 42 pp. plus the colophon comprise the diary entries. Vol. 6 with 12 fold-out panels each holding a black and white photo captured by Roderick Haig-Brown, with captions; laid in a pocket in volume 6 is a map drawn by Haig-Brown reproduced on pale blue oiled linen (12 x 8) that shows the Nimpkish Valley area where the diary entries took place. The first 5 volumes with frontispieces, decorative initials, and illustrations drawn by Richard Bunse. The initials were hand colored by Marion Cluff and gold foil stamped at the press. Roderick Haig-Brown arrived in the Nimpkish Valley in 1927. "He logged, surveyed, beachcombed and set out to learn to fish the Pacific Northwest coast. But, more more than anything, it was here that Haig-Brown would mature as a writer. His five diaries of the early years of North America from 1927-1929 and 1932-1933 reveal the freshness and immediacy of evolving genius that culminates in classic works like A River Never Sleeps, a book deeply informed by the period of these diaries." The spines of first five volumes are bound in forest green Harmatan goat skin and the boards of each volume bound in different colors of textured paste paper, with each volume’s number stamped in gilt on the spine. The sixth volume is bound in the same colored green cloth with a fish in gilt on the spine. The six volumes were bound by Sandy Tilcock. The books are kept in a light olive green cloth folding box with titling label; the box has a pull-out tray so that all volumes can easily slide in and out of the box; the fold-down front is kept in place by a magnetic closure at the top. The set was issued with four original and distinct prospectus’ and they are present. A magnificent, elegant production. This is the real Cave A 203. All in fine condition.///// THE BROADSIDE: Salem, Oregon. The Beaverdam Press. 1989. Special Edition. Copy number of 30 of 100 copies (about 40 of the limited edition were actually sold). Signed by the artist, Richard Bunse. The broadside frame measures 30 ½ x 13 1/2. The broadside was hand printed by Earle Henness and Richard Bunse at The Beaverdam Press in early 1989 and offered for sale at that time - five years before the diaries went on sale. The quotation was taken from the yet-to-be published Diaries of Roderick Haig-Brown, which were finally made available to the public in 1994 (despite the 1992 publication date in the diaries). Haig-Brown's Golden Girl fly, dressed on a size 6/0 hook, is mounted at the bottom of the broadside and was dressed by Jim Snyder. Richard Bunse's illustration shows Haig-Brown standing by a river's edge holding a freshly caught salmon and his fly rod - drawn from a period photograph. The broadside is framed in mahogany and under glass. Included also is finely printed prospectus for the broadside. In fine condition. Shipping at cost. Signed by Author and Illustrator.

RODERICK HAIG-BROWN.

Fabulous Fishing in Latin America. Your Guide to the 60 Best Fishing Areas in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, including That Other Trout Season.

New York. Pan American World Airways. 1956. First Edition. Octavo (9 x 6). 99 pp. Photographs and maps. Roderick Haig-Brown's account of fishing in Chile and Argentina in 1951-2. See Cave B 7, p. 290 for a complete description. Pan Am was opening up new air routes to South America, and part of their promotional program was to encourage sportsmen to explore the fishing opportunities available. Haig-Brown was Pan Am's fly fishing ambassador, so to speak, and the section on Chile and Argentina was his contribution. After Haig-Brown explored this region and wrote about it, legions of well-known fly fishermen followed. The book is bound in blue wrappers with black and white titles. A scarce book as it has nearly disappeared from the marketplace in the last decade. In very good condition, with a small crease on the back cover.
