I have two copies of the leather edition. And maybe thinking of selling one of them. I have some other books on the bay at the moment and may add this to them. It is a wonderful book, very well written and with beautiful photos.

This really is one of the best angling books published in recent years.
For all traditional anglers this is a book you should read, and preferably own.
It covers the angling life to date of Mark 'Skeff' Walsingham. There is so much packed into this from his early youth where he was fortunate to become a member of the Golden Scale Club right up to date to the succcess with his development of Ashmead.
It also includes many great photos and some superb artwork.

Oh dear, methinks the forum may go to pot for a week or so once you get started on this one.
Enjoy...

Its as big a Must Have as any of Chris Yates' books. I doubt any angler would regret adding this book to their collection.

It's complete tosh from start to finish but very good for making paper aeroplanes; the paper has that certain crispness in its quality that is lacking in many books these days. You should get over 400 good darts per copy, so great value. Don't read it in the loo though, it's like IZAL....
Thank you to the rest of you for the kind comments.
