"David Profumo and Graham Swift have researched an astonishing range of sources to compile a fascinating and highly unusual anthology: taken from literature through the ages, from erotic writing to religious sermons, from the Bible and Homer to John Buchan and George Orwell, consistently interesting and diverting." A great read and a useful taster for angling literature as well as that of other genres which touch on the subject. This reissue of the paperback edition (same date and ISBN) has a new cover design and is slightly smaller than the original issue, and is priced GBP 5.95 rather than GBP 4.95. The paperback edition pre-dates the hardback.
