ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2012). 2012 1st edition. 8vo (162 x 240mm). Pp304. Sepia and b/w photographs, silk marker ribbon. Brown boards, decorated in gilt. Edition limited to 550 numbered copies. Near fine copy in very slightly used dust-wrapper, signed by the author. Edition limited to 550 copies. ANGLING is a series of articles written by Dave Steuart for Angling Magazine from 1967 until 1977. At the time he was also running a busy tackle shop. The chosen episodes are nearly all of coarse fishing although Dave wrote many articles on sea and game fishing at the time. "Once you start reading this book you will realise Dave was far ahead of his time not only with the rods he made but with rigs and methods he used to tremendous success. Today's anglers have much to thank him for. When you consider he was only able to fish on one day per week except for holidays makes this even more remarkable. The articles are packed with valuable tips and ideas on how to read the many waters he fished that wouldalso be viable today. He is a master at long-trotting with a centre pin reel and his prolific catches of barbel, chub, carp and pike would be difficult to surpass with our latter day knowledge and tackle. What also comes across in the book is Dave's impish sense of humour from which a number of well known anglers have been, at times, heckled (in print). Dave was also outspoken in his writings on the subject of dredging and so called improvements to some of our best Southern rivers and through these articles was invited to discuss the problems with the relevant authorities - often too late. This at a time when there were few other bodies to fight the angler's case. The book is full of historical photographs taken at the time by his late wife Kay - also an exceptional angler who often surpassed Dave in catches and personal bests." With introductory material by John Roberts and Brian Harris. The dust-wrapper illustration is by John Searl. .…

"Carp Addiction is a book about a man who has been obsessed with carp fishing since his boyhood, where fortunately he was mentored by a couple of experts at the lakes he fished, with whom he still remains friends today. It was not long before he was catching a few larger fish and moving on to better waters. Since those early years on Horton Kirby he has gone on to fish such places as: Walthamstow, Redmire, Sutton, The Manor, Korda, Birch Grove, amongst others, and has fished several places in France. He has also fished in Canada. His statistics speak volumes - eleven UK forties including a personal best mirror at over 47lb and two different commons over 40lbs. His French personal bests are a common of over 72lb and a mirror of over 60lb. He was voted 'Carp Angler of the Year' in 2006 and is proud to be a member of the British Carp Study Group, in which he was enrolled some twelve years ago. Unlike many successful carp anglers of today, he works full time and has only ever been able to fish weekends, evenings and holidays but his 'addiction' to catching carp has never diminished in the thirty or so years he has followed his passion." .…

"Chris started fishing as a young lad at Keston Fish Ponds, where he learned his angling skills by catching roach, rudd, perch, tench and pike. He was determined to catch one of the large carp he saw and soon crossed paths with two seasoned carp fishers, Steve Edwards and Ken Rowley, who saw in him the burning ambition to catch a Keston carp. They took him under their wings and set him on a path towards a lifetime of carp fishing. He became the youngest person ever to join the British Carp Study Group, enabling him to join Ashlea Pool in 1970 with Ken Rowley. Since those days he has gone on to catch a number of carp in excess of 40lb. This by using his own tried and tested rigs and bait - detailing these, and the reasons for using them, in this book." Tales from a short session carp angler that cover waters such as Ashlea Pool, Redmire, Crayfish Pool, Yateley, Horton, Wraysbury, Dorchester Lagoon and more. For around twenty-five years, Chris ran a successful bait company and so a great deal of the book concerns the effectiveness of certain flavours, ingredients and other aspects of boilies and boilie making.

"It seems that most anglers these days tend to specialise in one or two species of fish. Probably fifty percent of modern carp anglers have never fished for anything but carp. Although Alan is probably best known as a carp angler, for some time now he has been urged by friends to write an all-species book on angling. Latterly it was his fishing times at Colne Mere (aka Blackwater) that people wanted to read about, and while Colne Mere is a kind of central theme, the book is not all about that lake: nor all about carp. Magic in the Water takes us through much of Alan's fishing life, to many different places, both rivers and lakes, and many fishes swim through these pages, often with Alan floundering among them. As he says, just because you can write a fishing book, it doesn't mean that you are an angling expert. Like most of us, he has his share of bad days, as you will see." All-round specimen hunting tales but with a great deal on fishing the Mere in pursuit of the Black Mirror and the other large commons and mirrors that used to inhabit this sadly now defunct water. Many other chapters cover perch, pike, chub, barbel, trout, salmon, seatrout, roach, tench, crucians, rudd and grayling. The foreword is by Tim Paisley. This edition was limited to only 550 numbered copies and it sold out very quickly. . …

Mick Hanson is as passionate as any and after years of contributing to the angling press, in his first book Along the Margins he tells the angling story that has been a lifetime in its creation. As a result, its pages are filled with tales of searches for and ecounters with specimen fish of many different species all over England. Along the Margins is a book written from the heart by an all-rounder with a love not only of fishing but also wildlife and the outdoors. It is difficult not to be moved by the man's conviction, his first hand experiences of the golden years on some of the country's best known waters and empathise with his displeasure of how some aspects of angling have, over the years, unfortunately changed for the worse.
