hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. A Fish Will Rise. The reflections and reminiscences of a lifelong fly-fisherman, this delightfully-written book does not set out to teach, though it does embrace much of what the author has discovered from the writing of some of the great anglers of the past. Fishing wet, dry and with the nymph, for trout, gayling and those few coarse fish that will take the fly, he ranges widely between such differing venues as small, secret trout pools, chalk streams, Welsh mountain brooks and the lesser-known waters of the pastoral Midlands. Writing with equal felicity on freshwater biology and riverside ecology, on stream improvement and in praise of river-keepers, he recalls the quiet pleasures of the waterside with a charm that country lovers everywhere, anglers or not, will find it difficult to resist. Illustrations. 122 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
