RODERICK HAIG-BROWN. — The Salmon.

Ottawa. Environment Canada. Fisheries and Marine Service. 1974. First edition. Large Quarto (12 ½ x 8). 79 pp. Beautiful color plates showing salmon as a valuable natural resource, especially for Canada’s aboriginal peoples who depend on the annual return of spawning salmon for their existence. There are colored maps showing the routes salmon travel during their time at sea. Haig-Brown’s compassionate and thoughtful text celebrates salmon and pleads for their continued return to their home rivers. The book is bound in coarse brown cloth with Bill Reid’s Haida Salmon printed on a paper label on the front cover, brown titling label printed in gilt on the spine. With John McCormac’s bookplate, designed by Lance Hidy. Mr. McCormac hosted Roderick Haig-Brown at his home in Boise, many years ago. There are a few short, horizontal lines in the margins; otherwise a very good book.
