Hard covers, dust jacket. Condition: V.g. 1st edition. Top edge of pages slightly tanned, otherwise very good. As with all Shell Books, this is a reliably fact-filled guide to game fishing, coarse fishing and sea angling. Illustrated with diagrams, photographs and colour plates, each chapter has a different author. A passing reference to Isaak (sic) Walton on p. 122 makes it clear that this is not a history of angling. 256 pp. Weight: 1 Language: English.
