About This Item
Lippincott, 1977. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Inscribed to painter, writer, and fisherman Russell Chatham in the year of publication: "November 1977, For Russ, whose Montana is a way of life, not an antidote. With affection, Nick." A powerful association copy. Nick Lyons is one of the foremost writers and publishers (Lyons Press) of fly-fishing books. He wrote the introduction to Chatham s 1988 Dark Waters: Essays, Stories, and Articles (in which Chatham tells of his hunting and fishing exploits with companions like Jim Harrison), calling Chatham as "a voluptuous pilgrim, reveling in his senses." In turn, Chatham praised Lyons's work, writing for instance that "Spring Creek keeps alive, in sensitive, heartfelt language, the spirit of why we fish to begin with, and why we will always do so." Truly a special book that unites two of the greats of contemporary fly-fishing literature. Near fine with faint yellowing at the edges of pages, in a near fine dust jacket. Please inquire for photos.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
