Colour section, b/w photographs and illustrations, printed end-papers. Matt laminated boards. Slight browning to top edge but a very good copy. "The Anglers' Bible, explores the matchless contribution made to [angling] by a single firm of tackle-makers - Hardy Brothers of Alnwick - through the lens of the catalogues they produced each year. Herd provides a connective narrative of the production of these mouth-wateringly tempting creations up to the 1914-18 War. But the chief glory of the book is visual. The colour plates reveal the matchless beauty of Hardy's rods, trout flies, salmon flies and spinning baits, and there are many pages of black-and-white illustrations celebrating the incredible ingenuity and skill of the company's team of craftsmen."
