Black and white plates with tissue guards, one showing the head of a ferocious looking pike. Woodcuts throughout the book, of fish, angling scenes, and pleasant natural settings.

Tackle is covered in brief as is fly fishing.

A handsome book. About fine with just a touch of rubbing at the corners. Seller Inventory # 010979

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.
