Author: RUSSELL CHATHAM.
Title: The Angler's Coast. {Signed by Russell Chatham & Tom McGuane. Accompanying the Book is a Striper Fly Dressed by Russ and a Signed Limited Edition Print Showing a Silver Salmon}.
Description: New York. Doubleday & Company, Inc. 1976. Octavo (8 x 5). 158 pp. First Edition. Signed, dated and with a small drawing by the author, "Russell Chatham / Deep Creek" [Papermill Creek/ Tomales Bay monogram] / "1982". The book is also signed on the front end paper by Tom McGuane, who wrote the Prologue to the book. Accompanying the book is a Striper fly dressed by Russell, which measures 5 inches in length and it’s dressed on a size 3/0 saltwater hook. There’s also a limited edition print drawn by Russ showing a Silver Salmon, penciled in Russ’s hand with the number "190/200" / [Papermill Creek/Tomales Bay monogram] / "1994". The print was initially included with the limited edition of Deep Waters published in 1994, and whether it’s from one these copies or issued separately, isn’t known. The print measures 6 x 7 1/2 inches. The book was illustrated by Russ; his fishing and nature stories and essays are some of the finest written during the last 40 years. Clearly one of the very best books on fly fishing, but it also celebrates his longtime friendship with Bill Schaadt, fly fisherman extraordinaire. A nice book, fly, and print. The book is fine (with the nearly always present binder’s glue visible in the gutter of the half-title) in a fine dust jacket; the fly and print are also in fine condition. Signed by Author.
