I have been collecting Richard Walker books for a while now and have all the above books except the 1964 edition of 'No Need to Lie', I do have the new 50th anniversary edition on order.

my favourite is no need to lie i have some of the little egret press books
and i have borrowed the still water anging but found it hard going but very informative

Brilliant

Not being an angling title, this might not count, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Walker's first book was about rabbits (Flemish giants, I think). I don't know what it was called though. Anybody?

I'm just interested in the angling books Greg.

Mark - do you have a copy of Fishing With the Experts which was published by the same publishers as Walker's Pitch as that has a chapter or two by Richard Walker and another by Maurice Ingham I think - it is a while since I read my copy but all the same most enjoyable.

Mark - don't forget Richard Walker also made significant contributions to ' The Angling Times Book' and the subsequent Second, Third and Fourth Book ( I have assumed the Fourth as I don't have a copy but I cannot believe he did not feature in that as he had a weekly column in Angling Times).

Walker does contribute to the fourth Angling Times book with a number of articles and also has a chapter in The Art of Angling on rod building.

Yes I do PH, it was complied by John Norman. I have not listed the books that Dick contributed to because there would be so many.

I just wanted to list the ones by him or about him.
