No, not in the usual places where they appear in my few hundred other angling books that spill from shelf to shelf around the house.Tonytoned wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 11:03 pmMight be the opposite page to the preface on the left.Shaun Harrison wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:43 pmSorry can't see a first published date in it.Tonytoned wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:20 pmLook at those Perch. Great cover, what year was your copy published? Mine was 1977.Shaun Harrison wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 7:56 pm It would appear it was an inspiration to many of us. Here is my copy, one of the first angling books I owned.
Guessing this was the cover you remembered Muskieman?

It looks like your copy has a page missing Shaun.

cheers Tony!Tonytoned wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:23 pmI love the Observer series and there is so much information in these little books. I will keep an eye out.Ambrosia wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 2:58 pm What a smashing book, I had a copy as a lad, it was the first fishing book I owned, bought for me by my lovely grandmother, and inscribed by her, for a birthday or Christmas I can't remember. It was in the pocket of my old fishing seat that got nicked from a mate's house some years ago, together with all my childhood gear! It's out there somewhere. So, if anyone has a copy if this book, with and inscription inside "to Jonathan from Nana Savory", let me know and maybe we can swap! Wow what a turn up that would be!
They waited for me, the whole river
Listened to me, and, blind,
Invisibly watched me. And held me deeper
With its blind, invisible hands.
“We’ve got him,” it whispered, “We’ve got him.”
