ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2011). 2011 1st edition. Small 8vo (142 x 222mm). Pp187. Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations, maps. Blue boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Slight foxing but a very good copy in dust-wrapper. With the invention of the railways in the early nineteenth century, anglers were, for the first time, able to fish the length and breadth of Britain.
