Sobre este artículo
The Macmillan Company, New York, 1938. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Inscribed on the title page: "For Harriet and John Finucane, our friends, [from] Dorothy Noyes Arms, John Taylor Arms." An early memoir about fishing from a woman, uncommon signed. As the foreword says, "Since time immemorial fishing has been considered a purely masculine sport. . . . for the unknown sisterhood of the rod and reel, this little book is written." Dorothy and John have each signed separately, and the inscription to their friends is in John's hand. Interestingly a previous inscription is present but very faded. John Taylor Arms was a well-known artist. Though he didn't do the illustrations in this volume--those belong to William J. Schaldach--the book is dedicated to him: "To J.T.A., to whose keen love of angling and joyous companionship in the days spent beside lake, or brook, or river, I owe my happy fishing memories." Chapters range from at least Maine to Wyoming, from trout to salmon, with a lot in-between. Gilt fish on front and gilt lettering on the spine, blue cloth. A very good book with stain to lower corner of front board, light sunning to spine, and toning to pages, lacking the dust jacket. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

Sobre 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.
