Lines on the Water

by David Adams Richards

Lines on the Water: A Fisherman's Life on the Miramichi is David Adams Richards's reflective account of fishing, nature, memory, family, and the people whose lives are tied to New Brunswick's Miramichi River. Blending memoir with regional history and fishing lore, Richards portrays guides, anglers, poachers, hunters, and local residents while considering their relationship with the river and the surrounding landscape.

The book received the Governor General's Literary Award for English-language nonfiction. This is the 1998 Doubleday Canada hardcover first edition and first printing, with the complete number line ending in 1 and its original illustrated dust jacket.

This copy is signed and personally inscribed by David Adams Richards on the title page, approximately “For Rob, Best always, David.” The inscription and signature are shown in the photographs.

Seller-graded Very Good. The dust jacket is present and displays light visible shelf and edge wear, including minor rubbing or bumping at exposed corners and extremities. The photographed title and copyright pages are clear and legible. Please check all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
