The original price, as shown on the rear cover, was $27.95.Synopsis: “Christmas Island. The Russian Arctic. Argentine Patagonia. Japan. Cuba. British Columbia. Dylan Tomine takes us to the far reaches of the planet in search of fish and adventure, with keen insight, a strong stomach and plenty of laughs along the way. Closer to home, he wades deeper into his beloved steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest and the politics of saving them. Tomine celebrates the joy—and pain—of exploration, fatherhood and the comforts of home waters from a vantage point well off the beaten path. ‘Headwaters’ traces the evolution of a lifelong angler’s priorities from fishing to the survival of the fish themselves. It is a book of remarkable obsession, environmental awareness shaped by experience, and hope for the future.”From the reviews:“‘What is fly fishing? Everything.’Anglers will find Tomine’s book a spirited defense of that thesis.”—Kirkus Reviews“With quick delivery, injections of humor and such locales as Northwest steelhead country, Patagonia, Russia and Japan, Tomine’s explorations will keep you in your chair when the river is too swollen to fish. But after a day or two of dropping water levels, the author will be the first to tell you to go cast a line: ‘It’s just that when the river’s right, the river’s right.”—Anglers’ Journal “Tomine delivers a work that informs and moves in equal measure. This is sure to reel in readers.”—Publishers WeeklyThe book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort.
