ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1972). 1972 1st edition. 8vo (140 x 222mm). Pp224. Colour photographs, b/w illustrations, introduction by Eric Linklater. Red boards, spine titled in gilt. A well-used copy without a dust-wrapper. In this book Spencer takes a more instructional approach to salmon, sea-trout and trout fishing. "His book - and this I emphasize - is most enjoyable, truly good, and so widely instructive that it leaves me with a deep sense of guilt: why, for example, in my long life, have I failed to acquire the delicate art of up-stream worming? The answer is, of course, that Mr. Spencer didn't write his book in time. If he had written it fifty years ago, I would be a better fisherman - even, perhaps, a better man - than I am today."
