Author: RODERICK L. HAIG-BROWN.
Title: The Tall Trees Fall. A Novel of Pacific Coast Loggers.
Description: London. Collins. 1943. First United Kingdom Edition. Octavo (8 x 5 1/2). 288 pp. including glossary. Roderick Haig-Brown spent a good deal of his early life working in the logging camps in Washington state and on Vancouver Island in British Columbia as a cruiser and surveyor; his novel of loggers and their way of life was based on first-hand experience. The first United Kingdom edition was titled The Tall Trees Fall to appeal to a U. K. audience unfamiliar with the title of the American edition, Timber. A Novel of Pacific Coast Loggers. The glossary is worth a few minutes of your time. It explains the terms used by loggers to describe their trade and it will help with the reading of the text. The book is bound in brown cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Pictorial dust jacket. A nice book. Fine in a very good dust jacket with light edge wear.
