This fascinating book is one in a series of books for professional and amateur fishermen. Sold as a series or as individuals these books cover every spectrum of specialist fishing. The information in this book from 1921 covers so many aspects of the sport. The Cormorants today are treated as a threat to UK anglers, but in China in 1921 these birds were considered as an aide to fisherman because of their skills. The history from 200 BC to the 1920's is truly a story that any serious or amateur fisherman would love to read. The illustrations are so informative and did you know that a score of snails would cost you 1/2d in 1906 - today you will pay GBP10 for 6. A fabulous present or just a brilliant read for anyone interested in fishing.
