Introduction by Henry Williamson, list of illustrations, inscription to the reader.

Colour illustrated dustwrapper, again by Arthur Rackham, with white and yellow coloured titles to the front panel and backstrip. The classic treatise on fishing from the 17th century. A little rubbing of the backstrip edges and to the book corners. Age toning of the text block edges and pages. Offset tanning to the end pages with very light age toning of the pages. A little rubbing of the dustwrapper edges and panels.
