1978 1st edition. A & C Black. London Ppxii,58. Colour frontispiece, b/w photographs & illustrations. Cream cloth. Very good in price-clipped dust-wrapper.
Notes: The "full range [of reels] from Perfecta to Hydra is fully described and illustrated with notes on rarity, dating and finding". Thorough account of Hardy reels, their development and production, with something of the history of Hardy's too. Useful section on care of reels for collectors. An indispensible work.
