REVIEWS
'If you can't fish the next best thing is reading about fishing! And with Christmas approaching, finding a suitable gift for the angler in your life can be difficult. This book could be just what you've been looking for! Tom Quinn, a former assistant editor of Trout and Salmon and now editor of Country Landowner has put together a selection of angling art and literature from the past three centuries. It's the perfect book for dipping into at bedtime.' Irish Angler
'This coffee-table hardback covers salmon and trout fishing, flies, perfect days, and, of course, the one that got away.' Countryside
'It is well designed, produced and printed. The illustrations are nicely reproduced. And it has the potential to provide hours of happy browsing.' Flyfishers Journal
'This is a real coffee table book - the sort you can pick up and dip into when you have a few spare minutes, or simply gaze at the pictures, and in an instant you are on the river bank. It's an excellently chosen anthology of some of the best writing on fly fishing... The illustrations are superb and if the next best thing to fishing is reading about it, this book will ease the long days until April.' BASC Shooting and Conservation
