New York. William Morrow & Company. 1942. First Edition. Octavo (8 x 6). [vi], [1-2], 3-410 pp. including glossary. Inscribed and signed by Roderick Haig-Brown in the year of publication on a tipped-in leaf facing the half-title page presenting Timber to the book editor of the Cincinnati Ohio Times Newspaper, Mona Harrop McElfresh. Blind-stamped on the tipped-in leaf: "Above Tide, / Campbell River, / British Columbia." And tipped-in on the reverse of the front end paper is a lengthy signed holograph letter penned by Haig-Brown, addressed to Mrs. McElfresh, discussing Timber's narrative and story development, his inspirations plus his descriptions of the book's protagonists and their characteristics - a rare glimpse indeed; he thanks her for the favorable review. At the end of the letter, Haig-Brown writes that signing Mrs. McElfresh's copy of Timber would be prohibitively expensive; shipping it to Campbell River and returning the book to her in Ohio, pointing out the high costs of Canadian import duties and sales tax. Generously, Haig-Brown sent her his copy of Timber. In my years of handling Haig-Brown books, this is the first example encountered where R. Haig-Brown modified one of his personal books in such a manner. Haig-Brown wrote Timber based on his personal experiences working in the logging camps of Wood & English Logging Company on the Nimpkish River watershed of northern Vancouver Island as a young man. The book is bound in the publisher's brown cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Illustrated end papers. Pictorial dust jacket. The book is fine in a near very good dust jacket with light soiling on the back panel. A unique book.

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
