From the DJ: 'From boyhood in Home, Pennsylvania, to his death in Tucson, Arizona, in 1989, this book offers - in Abbey's own words - the world of an American original. Whether writing fact or fiction, Abbey was always an autobiographer. Each of the thirty-five selections presented here, arranged chronologically by date of incident (not of publication), demonstrates that Abbey was passionately, insistently his own man. As poet-farmer Wendell Berry puts it: "He remains Edward Abbey, speaking as and for himself, fighting, literally, for dear life ... for the survival not only of nature, but of human nature, of culture, as only our heritage of works and hopes can define it."'

Auger, Bob, Editor The Angler's Journal - the Voice of Quality Angling
Livingston, MT Eight Dogs Publishing 1994 Original Wraps As New No Jacket 8-1/4" x 10-3/4
This is a complete run of The Angler's Journal, started by Bob Auger, Riverkeeper on Armstrong's Spring Creek, Livingston, MT. The first issue was entitled 'The Riverkeeper,' but they had to change the name to 'The Angler's Journal' for the second and subsequent issues under threat of lawsuit because another organization already had 'The Riverkeeper' name. If you are a Montana Spring Creek fly-fisherman, this run of magazines will be invaluable to you - and they are exceedingly hard to find in 'as-new' condition. Volume 1, No. 1 (October, 1994) through Volume 6, No. 1 (Winter 2000), 21 issues total (4/year). I believe that they went out of business after this volume. This set of magazines is simply an unbelievable treasure trove of articles by all the names one would recognize as avid Spring Creek fly-fishermen in Montana.

Bass, Rick The Book of Yaak
Boston Houghton Mifflin 1996 0395770149 First Edition Hard Cover As New As New 6-1/2" x 9-1/2"
190 pages. First Edition/First Printing. Quarter-bound in maroon cloth over burgundy boards, with bright gilt lettering to the spine and the author's signature gilt-stamped on the front board. Bright, clean, tight, and square text block, no marks of any kind. Corners sharp. Unclipped ($21.95) DJ in clear archival protector. Cover art by Russell Chatham. From the DJ: 'The Yaak Valley of northwestern Montana is one of the last great wild places in the United States, a land of black bears and grizzlies, wolves and coyotes, bald and golden eagles, wolverine, lynx, marten, fisher, elk, and even a handful of humans. It is a land of magic, though its magic may not be enough to save it from the forces that now threaten it. The Yaak does have one trick up its sleeve, however: a writer to give it voice. In Winter, Bass portrayed the wonder of living in the valley. In The Book of Yaak he captures the soul of the valley itself, and he explains how, if places like the Yaak are lost, so too will be the human riches of mystery and imagination. Rick Bass has never been a writer to hold back, and The Book of Yaak is his most passionate book yet, a dramatic narrative of a man fighting to defend the place he loves.'

On the eve of graduation, two students are a hairsbreadth from solving the mysteries of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, a Renaissance text that has baffled scholars for centuries. Famous for its hypnotic power over those who study it, the five-hundred-year-old Hypnerotomachia may finally reveal its secrets -- to Tom Sullivan, whose father was obsessed with the book, and Paul Harris, whose future depends on it. As the deadline looms, research has stalled -- until an ancient diary surfaces. What Tom and Paul discover inside shocks even them: proof that the location of a hidden crypt has been ciphered within the pages of the obscure Renaissance text.'

Clark, General Wesley K. Waging Modern War

Map on front and rear pastedowns. Unclipped ($30.00) DJ in clear archival protector. From the DJ: 'Ugly, shocking, frightening, war came to Europe once more in March 1999. The world watched in dismay as Yugoslavia's military machine attacked its own citizens in the province of Kosovo. Pictures of refugees fleeing and stories of murder and rape flashed to the top of the news... But this time, the United States and its allies intervened. Using an innovative, high-technology air operation, NATO brought modern military power to bear against Serb forces in the field and the machinery of repression that backed them up. It was modern war - limited in scope, measured in effect, extraordinarily complex in execution... The American commander who oversaw this massive military effort and managed the often incompatible demands of NATO's nineteen governments was General Wesley K. Clark. In Waging Modern War, Clark recounts not only the events that led to armed conflict, but also the context within which he made the key strategic decisions. He also describes, for the first time, the personal conflict he felt as he walked the tightrope of high diplomacy and military strategy and navigated the crushing restraints of domestic politics... Clark offers a blueprint for how the American military infrastructure must adapt if it is to meet the new threats that are likely to emerge in the coming years and decades. [This is] the story of war today, but also of war as it will be fought tomorrow.

Dubus, Andre The Last Worthless Evening

214 pages. First Edition/First Printing. Blue boards with gilt stamping on spine. Slight spotting to top edges, but no inscriptions, pos, or other marking. Text block clean and tight - probably never read. Price-clipped DJ shows very slight edge wear to top and bottom edges. From the DJ: ' Four novellas & two stories ... The novellas begin in the Navy, where two young officers (one black, one white) discover each other on the changing terrain of residual racism; offer shrewd homage to the detective story in Dubus's patented territory northwest of Boston; move on to the life of a suburban girl coming beautifully of age as her monther doesn't; and finish with a magnificent defense of her life and children by a woman who refuses defeat the hands of her brutal and pathetic husband. The stories tell about a Hispanic shortstop lost among the gringos on a major-league team, and show what happens to an eleven-year-old kid when he meets up with a broken, angry, and decidedly dangerous Vietnam vet who takes him into a local bar for a treat.'
