The paperback version of BB's Fisherman's Folly is usually quite affordable on Abebooks and is a wonderful read. I recommend Abe as well. They usually have the best prices on angling literature and I have to shop more carefully being in the US due to exchange rate and shipping costs.

Casting at the sun, obviously a classic & well worth reading.
Im going to throw in a wild card here too
Waterlog by Roger Deakin
(The book follows Rogers journey from his home in Suffolk as he swims in Britains rivers, seas & lakes, although not an angling book anyone who loves angling, nature & secret watery places will love this book, its perfect for some winter reading)

Re: Classic Angling Reads for Christmas
If we are going slightly off piste then The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd is unsurpassed in its brilliance. An extraordinary book which opened up for me a whole different way of appreciating the environment.NS was an inspiration for the much lauded Robert MacFarlane whose penultimate book was terrific and whose last book was the most teethgrindingly pretentious tosh........
