Wood Pool BB
I'm halfway through reading Wood Pool by BB, all I can say it’s one of the best book it’s been my pleasure to read in a very long time.

It has to be one of my all time favourite reads.

Re: Wood Pool BB
Very interesting gentlemen. Sounds like another book that i really need to add to my collection. I guess it must be an online purchase these days…..
Trouble is, the fish just don't read the books......

Re: Wood Pool BB
I recently purchased a copy of ' be quiet and go a angling ' by Michael Traherne (BB) later editions are called a fishermans folly being somewhat of a collector of BBs books i had been after an affordable copy of the first edition for years and finally secured a copy from a gentleman in the united states at a price i was willing to pay nice first edition with a dust jacket it is a wonderful read also, anything by BB is worth reading and his scraper board illustrations in his books perfectly complement the text.

Just arrived at the Old Gravel Pits for a week and this thread prompted me to bring my copy. It should be fresh as it is ages since I last read it.
