RODERICK HAIG-BROWN.

Alison’s Fishing Birds. {Limited Edition - The Original Alison’s}.

Vancouver, British Columbia. Colophon Books. 1980. Quarto. (10 1/2 x 7 1/4). 40 pp. Limited Edition (First State). Book number 147 of 375 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. Hand colored chapter headings by Jim Rimmer showing the five bird species encountered by Alison - the Dipper - Kingfisher - Heron - Mergansers and Osprey. Text illustrations showing Alison with the five birds. Included is the large folding prospectus laid-in plus the publisher’s reservation card. "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. Signed by Author.

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 with his fly rod - drawn from a period photograph. The broadside is framed in mahogany and under glass. In fine condition. Shipping at cost. Signed by Author and Illustrator.

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. 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 fisherman 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.
