Re: Really good value books at Coch-y-Bonddu
I got a leaflet from them the other day, sent to my parent's address, where I haven't lived for well over 20 years! I find the unsolicited mail rather annoying, but they do sell some good books cheap.

My wife and my Mother-in-Law both get the annual CYB booklet, plus Medlar and Merlin Unwin, but because they always ask me what I want for Xmas and they then go off and buy them well trained I say!

Re: Really good value books at Coch-y-Bonddu
Paul Morgan is one of the good guys - when he eventually publishes the bibliography he’s writing, he’ll be doing collectors everywhere a real service.
Happy New Year, one and all, it’s surely got to be better than this god-forsaken one.
Kind Regards
Phil

That sounds interesting Phil, can you tell us more about what it covers?Walkerburt wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 9:30 pm Paul Morgan is one of the good guys - when he eventually publishes the bibliography he’s writing, he’ll be doing collectors everywhere a real service.

Re: Really good value books at Coch-y-Bonddu
To be honest, I really can’t yet, he’s very patiently putting together the data, but I’m not really sure just how near to completion the book is - the one thing about Paul is that he’s not frightened of publishing large tomes, as his publication of two books about the Salmon Flies of Hardys and the sister volume about Farlows are huge.
You can bet that the book will be the go-to edition for the British collector.
Kind Regards
Phil.

Re: Really good value books at Coch-y-Bonddu
He's a great guy very professional he also did the Taxidermy book.
I think the bibliography is a follow on to the Hamptons Bibliography 1881 - 1949 that Paul wrote with Ken Callahan in 2008.

Re: Really good value books at Coch-y-Bonddu
Many thanks Walkerburt, and I fully understand your guarded reply. He should be applauded for providing what become standard reference works of the subject. Certainly produces books of high quality and you can tell they're done with loving care.
StefanDuma, that would be a mammoth task, especially if it goes up to the present time. It's certainly a gap that needs plugging. I thought the Medlar Press dust-cover was pretty bland though but the information contained is indispensable.

Re: Really good value books at Coch-y-Bonddu
A big problem is that a book such as this is never really finished. As you probably know already, Paul finds new information and makes many additions and amendments to the manuscript every single day. Sooner or later he'll have to bite the bullet and send it to the printer. And no doubt the next day he'll find something that he'll wish had made it into the final proof!Walkerburt wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:18 pm To be honest, I really can’t yet, he’s very patiently putting together the data, but I’m not really sure just how near to completion the book is - the one thing about Paul is that he’s not frightened of publishing large tomes, as his publication of two books about the Salmon Flies of Hardys and the sister volume about Farlows are huge.

For anyone with an interest, you'll find a couple of extracts of the bibliography on the "Paul's Diary" section of his website.
