Etat : New. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1983). 1983 1st edition. 8vo (150 x 222mm). Pp128. Colour photographs by the author, b/w illustrations by Bill Jenks, bibliography. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Spine slightly faded, some marks to cloth, slight browning to edges and some spotting to end-paper with previous owner's name. Good-plus without dust-wrapper. Nice New Zealand trouting stories. ".John McInnes is a fisherman in the classic tradition of moving quietly and thinking carefully. Tread Quietly is not about the 'name' fisheries; it is about the river alongside the road, or the stream just outside town - although there are tales of excursions into the backblocks, and many of New Zealand's more enticing rivers and lakes in the stories. There is insight too - into fishing the nymph during hot clear summers, using the sedge in the wee small hours of the morning, or stalking feeding cruisers along the edge of a lake. But there is little instruction. The insight comes as the stories and discussions unfold." . N° de réf. du vendeur 51439
