Decorative Illustrated Boards. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. Very slight wear to top edge of spine and corners of boards. This book takes a contemporary look at the period when whisky swilling gillies outnumbered salmon and their clients were invariably London businessmen with the IQ of a minnow, or sharp-eyed anglers who see a midge wink, and runs downstream into modern times when most of the fish we see is battered or boiled. A hundred years of fishy humour makes a delightful cruise - but watch out for some of the artwork - it's so good it'll bite you. Illustrations. 96 pp.
