(Paperback, 1986). 1986 3rd printing. 8vo paperback (136 x 210mm). Ppxii,180. B/w photographs, illustrations. Paste repair to broken spine, some pages still loose. Inexpensive reading copy for the more careful kind of reader. "This provocative book thrusts the reader into the world of the trout. Its premise is that the fisherman is a hunter, and that to be skillful and successful in his pursuit he must understand his quarry intimately. Lee Wulff draws on nearly three quarters of a century of serious angling to explain what a trout will do under various circumstances, why it takes up a particular position in a river, why and when it feeds as it does, what we must know to bring it to our fly. His perceptions appear deceptively simple, as only a master's analyses can seem. Through Wulff's eyes, we understand the many factors that affect the trout and our pursuit - temperature, stream flow, the different types of water in a river, approach and presentation, tactics, and flies and their structures. Throughout, there is the innovative mind of a great fisherman not solving a trout fisherman's problems for him but requiring that a fisherman learn to solve them for himself. Trout on a Fly is for all serious trout fishermen; it is the kind of book that can change the way a fisherman sees and approaches the trout and its world." Chapters include: The trout's world; The flow of water; Stream food - entomology; Temperature; Trout vision; The trout - hatchery and wild; Flies and fly selection; Tackle; Casting; Approach and presentation; Playing the fish. .

near fine dust-jacket, cover price $22.95, like new copy, black hardcover, clearly never used. REINSTEIN, TED. Before Brooklyn: the unsung heroes who helped break baseball's color barrier. Guilford, Connecticut: Lyons Press, 2022, xvii, 253pp., . In the April of 1945, exactly two years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball, liberal Boston City Councilman Izzy Muchnick persuaded the Red Sox to try out three black players in return for a favorable vote to allow the team to play on Sundays. The Red Sox got the councilman's much-needed vote, but the tryout was a sham; the three players would get no closer to the major leagues. It was a lost battle in a war that was ultimately won by Robinson in 1947. This book tells the story of the little-known heroes who fought segregation in baseball, from communist newspaper reporters to the Pullman car porters who saw to it that black newspapers espousing integration in professional sports reached the homes of blacks throughout the country. It also reminds us that the first black player in professional baseball was not Jackie Robinson but Moses Fleetwood Walker in 1884, and that for a time integrated teams were not that unusual. And then, as segregation throughout the country hardened, the exclusion of blacks in baseball quietly became the norm, and the battle for integration began anew. ISBN 9781493051212.

(Paperback, 2003). 2003 proof copy. Paperback. Pp188. Uncorrected proof copy. Very good. "When big corporate strip-mining interests begin to take over a ranching town in southeastern Montana - wide-open coulee and bluff country - all hell breaks loose. It seems the land is fighting back; vast sage flats erupt in fire, massive storms blast down from all directions, rattlesnakes strike from out of nowhere, and an extinct buffalo wolf is heard howling in the night. .One man tries to hold back the tide of disaster caused by corporate greed: Joe Graves is a rancher, whose family has ranched this arid, harsh land for generations. .He hunts, and fishes, and considers the land an extension of himself. But what he doesn't know is that his father sold the mineral rights to the ranch. And Graves is about to find out that Dark Star [Inc.] is coming to claim those rights as well as his water." (I expect the Indians who were there before Graves Snr. were quite cross too. About Graves, that is.) .

(Paperback, 2008). 2008 1st edition. Paperback. Pp101. B/w photographs throughout. Dent to front cover but very good. This is an interesting and useful book which deals in detail with fishing from small canoes and kayaks, with chapters on float tubes and pontoon boats (small inflatable catamarans). Lots on which craft to choose for what purpose. Handling a canoe is covered in depth and a lot of information on safety equipment is included. Importantly, the author discusses in depth exactly how to fish effectively from such a tiny, basically unstable craft. There is a certain amount of material on sea kayaks, but the book mostly deals with inland still waters. .
