Volume Three in the publisher's "How to Buy" series, following on from How to Buy a Camera, 1902, and How to Buy a Gun, 1903. "This volume, like its immediate predecessor in the series, treats only of the cost of outfit, of the prices of tackle, and of such artificial baits as may logically be considered under the head of tackle. It goes a little further, it is true; for it tells not only what price to give, but also how to buy, thus following the rubric of the series. .The moral of most of this advice will be found to be that the most expensive is the cheapest in the long run." Contents include:- Part I: Game fish; Salmon and trout; Part II: Coarse fish; Preliminary remarks; General tackle; Tackle for the various coarse fish; Part III: Sea fish; Tackle for sea fish.
