ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1999). 1999 1st edition. Folio (252 x 338mm). Pp280. Spectacular colour and b/w photographs throughout, illustrations, colour maps on end-papers and throughout. Blue cloth, spine titled in silver-gilt. Very good copy in spine-damaged dus…t-wrapper. A big heavy book. "The Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink, Esopus, Schoharie, and Delaware - the rivers of angling pioneers Thaddeus Norris, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Theodore Gordon, and many others - are celebrated in this gorgeous book of photographs and text. In three major sections, Land of Little Rivers presents historical and physical profiles of the rivers; classic rods, reels, and flies; and engaging stories of the people, events, and developments that constitute the Catskill fly-fishing tradition. Author Austin McK. Francis, noted angling historian and biographer and acknowledged authority on the history of Catskill fly fishing, has a home in the Catskill Mountains and has fished there for more than thirty-five years. Famed photographer and avid fly fisher Enrico Ferorelli, a regular contributor to National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines, spent five months creating the most evocative portfolio of photos ever made of these historic rivers. Together they have produced an exquisite, museum-quality work." "Mac Francis has had a long love affair with the Beaverkill and its sister streams. Every page in Land of Little Rivers - its photos, paintings, writings, but most of all Mac's reflections - is a celebration of his passionate commitment. Anyone who shares his love of fly fishing and the speckled trout will revel in his portrayal of the beauty and history of our glorious sport." (Paul Volcker). "This unique portrait of Catskill mountains and rivers reveals the stunning natural beauty and spirit of adventure that has inspired generations of anglers to lead in conserving this outstanding natural resource. A great book has been hatched here." (Larry Rockefeller). "A sumptuous visual and verbal feast for all who would know the magic of Catskill rivers, and their textured traditions." (Nick Lyons). "Land of Little Rivers is a treasure, a beautiful book, eloquently, wonderfully written, and movingly illustrated - it will be an instant classic. (Dan Rather). .
