I was interested to read on your site about the the boys in Jack Hilton's Quest for the Best.... I seem to remember Ann Hilton didn't know who they were, but its interesting to know if they carried on fishing.... cheers Tom

Haven't a clue what edition it is, its the one with Bill Quinlan on the cover. There is a collection of 200 books being sold for a "dear friends widow" Would be absolutely fantastic if it were first edition
