"During the twenty years in which we have published the books of Alexander Wanless, we have received many requests from fixed spool enthusiasts urging Wanless to write a full and complete work on the subject of which he was the acknowledged master. Wanless himself received many more such requests. .two years before his recent, lamented death, he informed us that the time for the major work had come, and with characteristic care and thoroughness he outlined the form it was to take - complete information as to equipment, casting, tactics, fly technique, spinning and lures. With tremendous zest he embarked on the task of compressing into a single volume all that a life-time's experience and observation had taught him. This book, completed but a few weeks before he died, is the result. Wanless led the way in all things relating to fixed spool angling; he was a pioneer who had many followers but no rivals. Complete Fixed Spool Angling is a fine and fitting memorial to the man who (to quote the Sunday Times) 'wrought a larger revolution in angling than any other single publicist.'" .
