Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dust jacket. Garrett, Kenneth (illustrator). First edition (so stated). Boston: David R. Godine, 1986. Fine condition in Near Fine dust jacket. Gift note and previous owner's blind stamp. A bright, shiny, clean, square, tight copy. 8.5" wide by 11" tall. "First edition" is so stated on the copyright page. Pages are fresh and crisp. Beautiful photographs by Kenneth Garrett. Illustrated with 150 photos, 100 in full-color. Bibliography. Bound in the original cream-color cloth, lettered in bright blue on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "Handcarved wooden duck, goose, and shorebird decoys, once used to draw their wary live counterparts within range of hunters' guns, are now equally successful at luring collectors. FLOATERS AND STICK-UPS is a paean to those counterfeit wildfowl and to the men who made and make them, combining a lucid text with more than 150 stunning photographs (100 in color). George Reiger first came to decoy collecting as a sportsman, rather than as an aesthetician, and his text reflects that bias. His primary line of questioning concerns what makes one decoy more effective as a lure than another, not what makes it an artistic success. He discusses, among many other topics, the current market and prices; the art of acquiring and collecting; the predominantly American history of decoys; regional specialization and hunting techniques; factory decoys; and specific carvers, from Miles Hancock and Ira Hudson of Chincoteague, Virginia, through the Massachusetts master A. Elmer Crowell and the Ward brothers of Crisfield, Maryland, to contemporary decoy makers like Grayson Chesser, Jr., and Mark McNair. Kenneth Garrett's splendid photos are the perfect complement to Reiger's passion: a guiding principle behind their composition was both men's firm belief that the decoys should be shown in their original milieus -- that is, on ponds, beaches, and open water, always outside, always being used as they were intended to be used. This concept makes for photographs that are without doubt among the most beautiful and authentic of their kind ever taken, portraying decoys that range from typical working 'blocks' to sublimely meticulous decorative carvings. FLOATERS AND STICK-UPS is the result of Reiger and Garrett's inspired collaboration -- a magnificent and highly readable monograph on decoys and the carving tradition, and a book that will surely seduce collectors, gunners, and American folk-art enthusiasts of all stripes. George Reiger is conservation editor for FIELD & STREAM and the author of several books. Kenneth Garrett is a professional photographer who has had assignments in Mexico, Colombia, South Africa, and Alaska. Both live in Virginia.". First edition (so stated). Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Garrett, Kenneth. 190pp.
