Colour paintings and illustrations, colour and b/w photographs throughout, photograph end-papers. Green boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Very good in slightly used dust-wrapper. Mark Walsingham is a dedicated fisherman and long-time angling companion of Chris Yates, who has contributed the foreword to this book. "He is just as much at home trying to outwit an Avon barbel, or large river pike, as he is in search of the carp of a lifetime, and he's pretty successful at all of those. .He is probably best known for his 'Ashmead Diaries' series in Carpworld, but this is far from just an extension of that. With his extensive work as a marine biologist, and his subsequent position as senior conservation manager with the National Trust, he has a wealth of stories to tell, and his love of flyfishing and old cane rods means that it's not just carp that sink his float, there are roach, perch, barbel, tench, salmon, trout; the list is endless. From wild carp in secluded southern pools to wild trout in remote Scottish lochs. From cold, lonely nights spent flyfishing for elusive sea-trout, to balmy summer days trying to entice mysterious monstrous carp into taking a carefully placed floater."

Blue boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Fine unread copy in dust-wrapper. This is the final volume in Keith Jenkins carp fishing trilogy. "The future of Felcham Mere and its great carp is under threat, and Stan Peacock doesn't know what to do about it. But, more worrying than that, the carp world itself is facing a sinister attack, and it doesn't even know it. Do a private, unfished lake and Smiffy's weird cousin, Tony, hold the answer between them? Or will it be left to a returning hero to solve this insidious problem? Whatever the answer, somebody better do something quick before everything just disappears. Time to get the message." The Myth gave us joy, The Keeper gave us despair, could The Messenger be bringing us devastation? Once again, Keith Jenkins wields his pen like a baton and takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and possibilities. We all look, but not everybody sees; time for The Messenger to lift the veil." .

Title page signed by the author. "For those of you who have read Harry's illuminating and forthright articles over the years, you will not be disappointed with this wonderful book. As well as charting a fishing career that began in 1952, Harry also waxes lyrically, probingly and caustically on the rise of the carp angler over that time, and the good and bad that he feels has come from that. It's not all carp, though - far from it - and Harry takes us back to the glory days of rivers like the Avon, the Stour and the Sussex Ouse in his pursuit of specimen barbel, chub and roach. He also just happened to hold the Ardingly pike record when that reservoir opened its gates to pike anglers in the mid-eighties - but that didn't end well, as you'll read. But carp angling is Harry's first love, and he's very good at it! So much so that he can only allude to his recent, remarkable captures over the past decade from a very secret and strictly non-publicity water. That said, he has caught enough wonderful carp to grace the pages twice over, and throughout the book relates the thrills and heartaches that their pursuit can bring." .

Laminated boards simulating a battered old leather binding. Slight use but a very good copy of the first edition. "In carp fishing terms, the history of Horton Church Lake is relatively short, a mere two decades which, when compared to the likes of Redmire, Wraysbury, Darenth and Yateley makes it barely a teenager. But in that time, its place in the pages of English Carp fishing has been written many times. The Horton Chronicles has been written by a few of its anglers glad to tell their stories of the good times, and bad times too. You will laugh, maybe cry but most of all you'll want to read the stories from start to finish."

"For many carp anglers, Savay Lake is as mystical a place as Redmire Pool; a lake that few have fished but where many would dearly love to. For five decades this seventy acre lake has been producing fish that would make the carp world sit up and gasp, but it wasn't until the early eighties that the real stories of multiple catches of twenties and thirties started to filter out through the angling press. Mike Wilson's iconic pose on the front of the first Carp Society magazine caught everybody's attention, and then the 'bible' that is 'The Carp Strikes Back', by Rod Hutchinson, focussed that attention and moved Savay Lake towards it's now mythical status. Further excellent books, in the shape of Rob Maylin's 'Tiger Bay' and John Harry's 'Savay', confirmed that status, and the fact that only a very few anglers were ever invited to join the elite syndicate just added to the Savay mystique. Many great anglers have trod Savay's 'black mud', but one man can rightly be known as 'Mr Savay', and that is the late Pete Broxup. His diligence, foresight and downright hard work has no doubt made the lake what it is today, and what it has always been under his leadership - a magical place where monsters abide. This book is, rightly, dedicated to Pete, but there are many more who deserve mention, and within these pages you'll read many of their stories. Over 30 anglers have contributed to this tribute of a lake and a man who helped mould it. Amongst them are Mike Wilson, Rod Hutchinson, Albert Romp, Brian Hankins, Bruce Ashby, Frank Ward, Andy Little, John Harry, Clive Williams, Richard Grundy, Jordan Wesley and many more. This may not be the definitive history of Savay Lake, but it's pretty damn close and with over 600 photos stretching back to the very first carp stockings in the early fifties, this is a must for carp anglers young and old." The third title in Freebird's ever popular 'Chronicles' series. .

Colour photographs, b/w illustrations by Suzanne Lane and Ian Webber, decorative end-papers. Black boards, spine titled in silver-gilt. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. Signed by the author. The second book in Pete Springate's on-going three-volume autobiography. The first, Carp Side of the Moon, was published in 2012. "From the capture of a record-shaking Wraysbury carp, to the loss of a river monster that still leaves him shaking; from the birth of his first child, Kat, to the death of his Mum and Dad, these highs and lows don't just involve his fishing, but have an equal impact in all facets of his life - as they do for all of us. This book details Pete's journey from wild, uncharted inland seas, to wild, untamed British rivers, and the many lessons you need to learn if you want to become, not only a highly respected carp angler, but a hugely successful specimen hunter. Massive bream and tench from large, windswept lakes are greeted with as much joy as specimen-sized roach and barbel from winding, Sussex rivers. But through it all, carp are the pinnacle for Pete, and he reaches that pinnacle in both size and quality on numerous occasions. In more ways than one, the journey that Pete takes us on is strewn with pitfalls and boulders, and the eventual destination is tantalisingly out of sight, but have no doubt, this is a journey we all need to take if we want to reach one of those pinnacles. Pete, as ever, is still pioneering." A great deal on Wraysbury and Horton along with various Colne Valley pits and Sussex rivers such as the Arun and Rother. .
