Bound in blue leatherette, it comprises in total just shy of 1200 pages of articles on all aspects of angling from coarse to sea (with around 150 photographs), and by some of the best names to be found in print.
For example, there are chapters on "Carp and Carp Fishing" and "Rod Making" by Richard Walker, "Angling for Crucian Carp" by 'Faddist,' "Cooking Sea Fish" by Ambrose Heath, "English Angling Literature" by Mr. Mansfield himself, "Grayling and Grayling Fishing" by E. Horsfall Turner ... the list is long and enthralling.
Enough here to keep even the most ardent reader occupied, I think.
And the cost of this cornucopia ? Ten whole British Pounds, plus three pounds for postage and packing !!!
