White cloth-backed boards, spine titled in gilt. Slightly used copy in good dust-wrapper. "[Nick Lyons] has at last assembled his favourite pieces into an illustrated collection that will be enjoyed by anyone who fishes or loves to read about fishing. Lyons is a pleasure to read because he so admirably re-creates the essence of angling: the meditative rhythm of casting, the burst of adrenaline when a fish strikes, the quiet joy of standing in a river. He recounts delightful stories of eccentric fishermen, heroic successes and abysmal failures, treacherous streams, and particularly wily fish that elude even the cleverest angler's schemes." A compilation of the very best writing, taken from several of his earlier books, from this most literate of angling authors, Nick Lyons. Well worth a read. "Nick Lyons writes about life and fishing with a compelling mix of familiarity and innocence. He knows what he's talking about, but it never ceases to amaze and delight him. And he's honest. This is real fishing done by real people in the world as it is, not one of those stylized versions of reality where the hero always catches fish and never has to go to work." (John Gierach). .
