Item description from seller

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1973). (1967) 1973 1st English language edition. 4to (230 x 306mm). Pp64. Colour photographs, b/w illustrations, brief bibliography. Pictorial boards, issued without a dust-wrapper. Some browning and use but a good copy. Label to end-paper. This is an English translation and adaptation of an Italian book. Though published in America it is clearly aimed at the British angler, despite having a great deal of information on North American species and techniques. The Italian edition of 1967 was titled Attrezzatura per la Pesca Sportiva (which loosely translates as Equipment for Sport Fishing). The front cover of this English edition gives the title as Color Treasury of Fishing Tackle & Baits, whilst the title-page states Fishing Tackle & Baits: Fish, Tackle and Bait. No overall author or editor is given, however Frank Guttfield contributed the introduction and a large number of the pictures and presumably had a large part in the editing and adaptation of this edition. The first fifteen pages give a brief overview of anglers and angling in Britain and the USA. The rest of the book then consists of large, colour photographs with good, long and informative captions concerning species, techniques and other related matter, both in fresh and salt-water. A vaguely interesting if slightly oddly constructed book. .
