The covers are beautifully clean, with virtually no faults - no marks, no bumps or creases, and none of the usual fading to the colour of the picture on the front cover, nor to the red titles, both on the front cover nor on the spine. Head and tail of spine uncreased. Corners sharp. Text block edges nice and clean. Internally the book is also near fine - extremely clean with no inscriptions or annotations. No marks. No creases. Photographic endpapers. No cracking to the binding. Spine tight. No dustwrapper as issued. ***145mm x 94mm. 190 pages including a section of Books for Further Reading and a six-page Index at the back of the book. ***'Sea fishing offers limitless variety, boundless scope, few restrictions and genuine adventure unequaled in any other easily-available sparetime activity. Moreover, the quarry - ranging from mackerel-size "tiddlers" to massive record-breaking shark - are absolutely guaranteed to provide thrills in plenty for anybody willing to take on the challenge of their catching. In this book all the vital information is to be found: where to fish, tides and weather, species identification, clothing, tackle, casting, baits methods and tactics. The book is a reliable first guide for adults and young people alike - experienced freshwater fishermen seeking a change of scene as well as complete beginners.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***A beautiful near fine copy of the first edition (the book was only reprinted once, in 1982) of this later title in the Observer's series - an uncommon title and very hard to find without any fading to the sun-sensitive red titles or browning to the spine. All the Observer's books from this late period are uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
