FISHING FOR A YEAR. By Jack Hargreaves. With drawings by Bernard Venables. First Medlar Press edition.

This is the cloth-bound edition. (No dust-wrapper - as issued)*. "Edition limited to 975 numbered copies of which 125 are quarter bound in leather". Both the cloth and leather editions quickly sold out and are now out-of-print. One of the most delightful books for the all-round angler. The author takes us through his year fishing for dace, tench, roach, grayling, salmon, perch, pike, ferox and stream trout. "We could wish no child a more gifted teacher than Mr. Hargreaves, and are convinced that any pupil of his will become a dyed-in-the-wool angler for the rest of his days". (Angling, December 1951). Jack Hargreaves was well-known as the presenter of the television series Out Of Town. He produced two more collections of essays, Out Of Town: A Life Relived On Television, 1987, and The Old Country, 1988.
