Orbis Publishing, London, 1984. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Good, spine sunned and some grubby marks on front cover. No dust jacket. Internally unmarked, neat and tight. Not recommended as a gift, but great for the fishing enthusiast. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 1988 edition. Inspired by Izaak Walton, this book celebrates his life on the tercentenary of his death. True to the spirit of the original, the book presents a leisurely and philosophic tour of angling as a passion worthy of true devotion. Illustrated in color. Green cloth boards, patterned endpapers, 176 pages. Some very light edgewear, internally fine with no names or other markings. Probably the most desirable natural history volume to appear in recent years, and a worthy successor to Walton's original. Beautiful paintings showing the subjects in unusual ways.
