First Edition. Leipzig, Germany. Wilhelm Goldmann Berlag. 1938. First German Edition. Octavo (8 x 5). 240 pp. plus ads. Translated from the English by Dr. van Bebber. The German edition was translated from the 1936 printing of Pool and Rapid published by Jonathan Cape, London. Haig-Brown’s literary agent in New York had no record of the number of copies sold.

Bound by the publisher in green and cream tweed cloth with an eagle tastefully illustrated on the front cover. Illustrated end papers in light green showing deer at the edge of a stream. Top edge yellow. Pictorial dust jacket. The book is in fine condition and the jacket is very good with just a touch of edge wear.

KI-YU: A Story of Panthers.

Boston and New York. Houghton Mifflin Company. 1934. First American Edition. Octavo (8 x 5 1/2). [8], [1-2] 3-213 [214-216] pp. Illustrated by Kurt Wiese. Ki-yu’s text is identical to the text published in the 1934 first edition titled Panther by Jonathan Cape, London, with the exception of a Preface written by Haig-Brown for Panther that wasn’t published in Ki-yu. The Preface penned by Haig-Brown was in response to a critic’s charge in the U.K. who thought there was too much violence and therefore the book unfit for a younger audience. Ki-yu was published a week later than Panther and the Life of Editions Record at Harold Ober Associates shows there were 1,605 copies sold, with the book going out of print in 1950. The book is bound in an early binding state of beige cloth with orange titles on the spine and front cover and with Ki-yu’s image in orange and black on the front cover. Orange end papers. There is a small marginal stain at the bottom edge of a few pages at the back of the book, and the spine title is dulled, otherwise this is a very good book.

KI-YU: A Story of Panthers. {Inscribed and Signed by Roderick Haig-Brown}.

Boston and New York. Houghton Mifflin Company. 1934. First Edition. [10], 3-213 [214-216] pp. With an interesting, signed inscription by Haig-Brown in the year of publication to "The Sheriff / Roderick L. Haig-Brown / Dec. 1934 / A pleasant meeting" on the front fly leaf. Ki-yu is Roderick Haig-Brown’s intimate story of Vancouver Island panthers (or cougars or mountain lions, if you like), Blackstreak and Nassa and their cub, Ki-yu. These panthers roamed at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, and sometimes weigh as much as 250 pounds - powerful and fearless and who hunt deer and elk and only occasionally attack cattle and raid chicken coops. It is Ki-yu who grows to be the largest and most powerful and fearless of panthers as he ranges over the Plateau and the Wapiti Valley. And it is the story of the ranchers who fear him and seek to kill him. Haig-Brown studied panthers under the watchful eye of John Cecil Smith, the greatest of Vancouver Island panther hunters. Roderick Haig-Brown’s story is based on first-hand experience, his own and Mr. Smith’s. The book is bound in beige cloth with orange titles on the spine and a silhouette in orange showing a panther with black muzzle markings. Pictorial dust jacket. The book is clean and fine and the jacket is very good with light edge wear and chips with a bit of restoration on the spine panel. Signed by Author.

KI-YU: A Story of Panthers.

Boston and New York. Houghton Mifflin Company. 1934. First Edition. [10], 3-213 [214-216] pp. In my bibliography of the books written and published by Roderick Haig-Brown, I described four binding states of Ki-yu and thought at the time I had nailed the total; but I didn’t, and clearly missed this one. This book is bound in cream colored cloth with orange titles on the spine and a silhouette in orange showing a panther with black muzzle markings. So now there are at least five binding states. By the way, picking the order of issue of these bindings is a fool’s errand. To my eye, this is the most attractive binding yet seen. The book is clean, bright and in fine condition.
