Lefty begins with the fundamentals common to all good casts and then goes on to diagnose and demonstrate ways to eliminate a variety of casting problems, including how to tame tailing loops; cast in the wind; quickly and accurately change the direction of a cast; throw a backcast that stays clear of brush; quickly send wet flies and streamers deep with a tuck cast; skip a fly across the water to reach under low-hanging branches; make roll casts, effective mends and much more. No matter how good fly-fishing tackle becomes, how well you deal with the variables on the water will always be a big factor in your fishing success. For as long as you fly-fish, this book will hold the keys."

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st. xi, 409 pages, [14] pages of plates, illustrations; 24 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. *** "Here is a riveting, life-size portrait of a bold, courageous, and infinitely talented woman, brought vividly to life in her first full-scale biography--a life as turbulent, moving, and sometimes as harrowing as her celebrated films Hush . hush, sweet Charlotte, The adventures of Robin Hood, The snake pit, To each his own, The heiress, and, of course, Gone with the wind. The book benefits tremendously from the author's wide personal acquaintance with many of the key figures in Olivia de Havilland's life and career. Olivia's story is the history of American moviemaking from the 1930s to the 1960s, and this book is rich in anecdotes involving the glittering personalities of Hollywood's Golden Age, including Vivien Leigh, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Gloria Swanson, Joan Crawford, Mickey Rooney, James Cagney, and Victor Fleming. Celebrated as a beauty ever since her debut as a teenager in Max Reinhardt's spectacular stage production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Hollywood Bowl, Olivia attracted some of the most powerful and desirable men of her time, including future U.S. presidents, actors, and directors. The great love of her life was Errol Flynn, her dashing costar in eight films, but perhaps her most fulfilling love was John Huston, the gifted, mercurial, enigmatic, and ruthless director of her film In This Our Life. Both of her marriages--to writers Marcus Goodrich and Pierre Galante--are detailed, including Goodrich's brutal attacks, which made her fear for her life and that of their young son Benjamin. The dark side of Hollywood's Golden Age is laid bare, including the abusive working conditions, the Communist witch hunt, and the big studios' murky backroom maneuverings that robbed stars of their rightful share of huge loan-out fees, and reduced them to virtual slavery by unfairly extending seven-year contracts. Olivia was the only star who fought back and won, successfully suing Warner Brothers. From the instant one begins this biography and experiences the author's relationship with Olivia de Havilland, it is clear that the book will be a unique, you-are there, compelling read, one that brilliantly portrays the incandescent star of Gone with the Wind, whose personal life was marked by triumph--two best-actress Oscars--as well as tragedy." - Publisher.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. First Edition, First Printing. Signed and dated 5/30/08 by author Nicole Sexton on title page in black fountain ink. PARTY FAVORS gives a deliciously witty peek into the secretive world of political fundraising in D.C. Co-written by a former Director of Finance for the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a published playwright, the novel tracks the meteoric rise and fall of the young Temple Sachet, the Big Money Babe of the Republican Senate. As a 'Ray of Hope' intern at the White House, Temple caught Potomac Fever--a hopeless, incurable addiction to D.C. Hooked, smart, and desperate for more, Temple navigates her way through the treacherous community of lobbyists making deals for dollars, gossiping staffers, and child-like senators to become the second most powerful fundraiser in America. Now she's expected to raise $95 million and must find creative ways to get the uber-rich and ultra-eccentric to hand over the cash money green. From the outside her life looks like one fantastic party, but on the inside she's tired of dating the wrong men and sleeping on the office floor. Luckily, she has an elite cadre of political friends to help keep her sane . . . or does she? When Temple's own career begins to surpass that of her mentor, Prudence, a rude awakening awaits. But an unexpected betrayal and a major hurricane force Temple to reexamine everything she believes in. New, unread copy opened only for signing, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket. L50.
