B/w photograph, two-tone cloth, tipped-on illustration. Edition limited to 500 numbered cloth copies. A good-plus second-hand copy. In 1952 'a chap named Walker' caught a 40lb carp and became, from then on, a major influence in the life of Peter Stone. From their first meeting in 1956, they exchanged letters and became great friends until Richard Walker's death in 1985. Peter kept all his letters from Walker, and in the 1980s put them together with a running commentary to form this book. Peter said that he intended this book to be 'a personal tribute to Dick'. It is certainly that, but it is also a window on to a great friendship between arguably two of the most influential anglers of the twentieth century;and, of course, an opportunity to hear the voice again of that much loved and much missed of all-round anglers, Peter Stone. Peter Stone worked on these letters, and wrote the introduction to this collection before his death in 2000. The cloth-bound edition is limited to 500 numbered copies. There is also a leather-bound issue of 99 copies. .…

Brown boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Corner of front end-paper clipped o/w very good copy in price-clipped dust-wrapper. Peter Stone's classic book of angling reminiscences of time spent by river, lake and sea. Lots of good specimen angling instruction is thrown in for good measure. "The chapter on barbel - in particular the section on how he and his friends catch them by design, at night, in winter - is an important contribution to the book, for what he has to say has probably never been told in book form before. He also tells of the difficulties involved with a television camera watching; of days spent bream fishing with bags in excess of 100lb. ; a record catch of over 250lb. of tench by him and two friends; of days spent breaking the ice during the 1963 freeze-up and of Richard Walker who caught roach and dace 'to order' whilst singing opera. But despite his success, the author still believes fishing is fun and no-one who reads this book will fail to agree. And in the process, they will learn much too." A good book that has become quite hard to find.
