Green boards, spine & upper board titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. After releasing his first book, A Merry Olde Dance, to critical acclaim in 2007, Micky headed back off into the long grass and back to a life away from the limelight. During that time, Micky has been on a personal quest to catch carp very dear to his heart, the magnificent Leney strain. With a realisation that these magnificent looking carp would not be with us forever, it was a case of now or never if he wanted to catch some of these scaly leviathans, and now he's back to tell the tales of his latest quest. The Leney strain, stocked largely in the 1950s and 60s do not reside in any old lake. Many of the lakes are off the beaten track, very exclusive, invitation-only type venues whose stock and secrets are both protectively guarded and enshrined in mystery. The challenge of fishing these lakes does not start with trying to find the carp, it starts with trying to find the lakes and then trying to attain a ticket to fish them - this in itself is a huge challenge in many cases, but this is where Micky excels. In business, they'd call it 'networking', in carp fishing they'd call it 'being a bloody nice bloke', but whatever you call it, Micky has it in spades and it helps open doors that remain firmly shut to many of us mere mortals. .

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.
