Fishing for a Living, Haig-Brown, Alan. Published by Harbour Publishing, Madeira Park, British Columbia, 1993. First Edition. 4to up to 12" tall; 200pp, index, illustrated with black and white photos, charts etc. Volume and unclipped jacket both in fine condition without marks, tears, folds etc..
On the West Coast, catching fish is a way of life, celebrated in these writings, oral histories and photographs about the people who build the boats and bring in the fish. This book, the result of a three-decade infatuation with fishing boats and fishing people, salutes those fishers and everyone else who builds the boats, fixes the gear and brings in the fish - from humpback to halibut, from draggers to double-deckers.
The book has more than 200 photographs from the author's collection, oral histories from the Native Canadians, Dalmatians, Japanese, Norwegians, Vietnamese and others who created the rich culture of our fishing industry...
