Items related to Falkus and Buller's Freshwater Fishing
Synopsis
In this book of practical information and advice, the authors are as familiar with the history of fishing tackle as they are with modern developments in fish biology. Every item is derived from their own first-hand angling experience. Throughout the book there are frequent quotations from angling literature, ancient and modern, chosen for the value of the ideas expressed. Part 1 covers the fish, and part 2 the rigs, tackles and methods that can be used for their capture. The emphasis is on British species and methods, but there is also reference to American ideas applicable in this country.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1988). (1975) 1988 2nd edition, revised - hardback issue. 4to (190 x 247mm). Pp525. Colour plates, b/w photographs and illustrations. Blue cloth, spine titled in silver-gilt. Good-plus in used and faded dust-wrapper. "Falkus and Buller's Freshwater Fishing is a classic: a book which no one with an intelligent interest in angling can afford to be without . A book of tackle and techniques, with some notes on various fishes; fish recipes; fishing safety and other sundry matters". An encyclopaedic work encompassing all aspects of British freshwater fishing. The authors' passion for research, their love of angling, even their avowed interest in the culinary qualities of their catch, seem to me a healthier approach to the subject than that of many writers of today, whose over-emphasis on technical and conservation aspects seem to take much of the excitement and spontaneity of fishing. Part I covers fishes, Part II rigs, tackles and methods of capture, with some reference to American ideas. . Seller Inventory # 24573

(1975) 1988 2nd edition, revised - hardback issue - The Bronco Edition. 4to (190 x 247mm). Pp525. Colour plates, b/w photographs and illustrations. Blue cloth, spine titled in silver-gilt. Two blank leaves at rear stuck together o/w a very good copy in dust-wrapper. "The first copies of this edition wre printed on unintentionally flimsy quality paper. A few hundred of these were sold before they could be recalled. A new print run on higher quality paper was rushed out. The two issues can be distinguished by the fact that the former has an overall thickness, including covers, of about 33-34mm, while the latter, again including covers, is notably wider at about 45mm.Falkus expressed his contempt for the first issue by referring to it as 'The Bronco Edition,' referring to a well-known brand of cheap toilet tissue." (Beazley and Hatton in "The Books of Fred Buller," Classic Angling, May 2006). Not nearly as bad as the authors made out - actually 32mm in thickness. . Seller Inventory # 21518
