Notes: Hardy's Anglers' Guides were the most comprehensive fishing tackle catalogues of their day. They portrayed all of the most up-to-date tackle in great detail, as well as many unusual items. This is a set of five facsimile catalogues from the years 1883, 1888, 1894, 1900 and 1905. Card covers reproduce the original illustrations, whilst a new introduction to each catalogue by John Drewett laid in. This particular set does not have a slip-case.
