A record of the author's experiences breeding Old English Game for their hackles. Based on a manuscript presented to the Flyfishers' Club in 1962. The book was intended to be published in an edition of 180 copies, the limitation page carries the following statement: "One hundred & eighty copies of this work have been printed on Glastonbury Antique laid paper, and are signed by the editor. Only one hundred & sixty numbered copies are for sale. Twenty Standard Limited Edition copies are 'out of series'. Edition-de-Luxe copies numbered I - XL, contain one hundred and twenty mounted specimen hackles, & are specially bound in half green morocco, emblematically gilt tooled, by Aquarius. Standard Limited Edition copies numbered from 41 - 160 contain forty mounted specimen hackles, & are case-bound by Tony Sismore in quarter black morocco grained leather, with gilt lettering." However only four copies of the Edition-de-Luxe were bound by Aquarius, and even these were never completed, not having the hackles or legend mounted and tipped-in at the rear. These four incomplete books were later sold at auction as a lot. Of the standard edition, supposedly limited to 120 numbered and 20 out of series copies, only around 66 copies were actually bound. The title-page carries a date of 1980 however no copies were issued until 1982. .
