Item description from seller

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1992). (1888) 1992 new edition. Large 8vo (155 x 252mm). Ppviii,64. Three colour plates, one folding. "With three illustrations in chromo-lithography from original drawings by the author." Blue boards, spine & upper board titled in gilt, gilt grayling vignette on upper board. Edition limited to 500 numbered copies. New introduction by R.B. Broughton. Very good in slightly frayed clear-acetate dust-wrapper and custom cloth slipcase. Copy# 260 of 500. The classic work on North Country grayling fishing, with a new introduction by R.B.Broughton. It is divided into two chapters: "All about Him" and "When, Where, and How to Catch Him." There are three colour plates : 1 fold out of a grayling, 1 of flies and 1 of floats and the dorsal fin of a grayling plus 2 pages of advertisements. The author "sketches lightly the habits and habitat of the fish as they were accepted fifty years ago, following with some capital pages on autumn fishing with the wet fly, and giving dressings of fifteen flies selected by well-known grayling fishers of his time. The rest of the slender volume is mostly occupied by excellent descriptive notes on the popular North Country form of grayling fishing known as 'swimming the worm.' Pritt wrought - and wrote - well as a pioneer, but he only touched the fringe of what has grown into a big subject, and he had not entirely shaken off the hackles of traditional fallacy." (W. Carter Platts. Grayling Fishing. 1939). This edition was limited to 500 copies. Numbers 1-50 reserved by the publisher and not for sale. Numbers 51-200 in for pre-publication subscribers and members of The Grayling Society (bound in blue). Numbers 201-500 for general circulation (bound in green). Twenty-six de luxe copies, fully bound in leather and lettered A - Z were also issued. .
