The King Carp Waters by Chris Ball

Post by The Sweetcorn Kid »

What a book, I borrowed this from the library some years ago and really didn't want to give it back!!! Well I've just purchased my own copy from Ebay so am very excited of the prospect of reading it again!!!!

Bamf lent me this. Its Brill. The best thing about it is the terribly disguised boyish enthusiasm that comes out. Only a labour of love is written in such a way.

My copy came today, a 1993 first edition. It looks like it has never been opened, it's in great condition. I have had a quick flick through and it looks a brilliant book. :thumb:
