Vintage Chum - A River Runs Through It Edition

This weeks finds feature a signed copy of the book that inspired the movie, a signed book by Director Redford and some movie memorabilia.

A rare limited edition signed by Moser and Maclean, with fourteeen wood engravings by Barry Moser. Handbound in full golden-tan leather and presented in a magnificent linen clamshell case which is quarter bound in the same leather. Enclosed is an additional suite of the engravings in a pull-out chemise, each signed by Moser, and one of the original flys hand-tied by George Croonenbergs (who taught Maclean the art of fly-tying) which were used for the engravings. One of the most beautiful and rarest Pennyroyal Press editions.

Yours for $7,500.

 

Published in 1992, A River Runs Through It: Bringing a Classic to the Screen, the screenplay is accompanied by the screenwriter's comments on the difficulty in adapting the story.

This copy is signed by Redford on the front wrap.

Vintage Chum - Polo Edition

Given the recent outrage that the U.S. Olympic team will be looking rather French in their Chinese made Ralph Lauren team uniforms, only fitting this week's vintage chum features duds from Ralph's house of fly fishing.

Maybe Ralph would be willing to sponsor and outfit the US World Fly Fishing Team?
