Description:
Devon, England. The Flyfisher's Classic Library. 1996. Limited Edition. Book number 91 of 125 copies published. Signed by Jeremy Paxton on the limitation leaf. 8vo. (8 ½ x 6). 28 pp. Photo frontispiece of the author. Black and white illustrations from a 19th century edition of The Compleat Angler. This is a critical examination of Izaak Walton's and Charles Cotton's book, The Compleat Angler, first published in 1653. Mr. Paxman places Izaak Walton's contribution clearly within the realm of a plagiarist who had little regard for fishing etiquette and customs. Charles Cotton's contribution to fly fishing in the fifth edition of the book is generally held in high esteem because of its originality and because of its thoughtful examination of the angler's role streamside. The book is bound in green morocco spine with gilt titles and marbled boards. Green drop-back box lined with light green silk moiré cloth. A beautiful book. Fine in a fine box..

Description:
London. A. & C. Black, Ltd. 1928 [1921]. Second Edition. Octavo (9 x 6). xvi, 259 pp. plus a one page advertisement for Amadou (the ad is funny; a refreshing parody penned by Mr. Skues). Photo frontispiece showing ten variations of the blue dun fly. Three additional plates, two of which are colored showing how Mr. Skues dresses his nymphs. There is an amusing chapter at the end of book, "Chapter X. What we Have to Put with at the Club / Doggerel from the Club Journal / This is Mine." Mr. Skues describes in rhymes his curiosity and parody of the dry fly. This book firmly established G. E. M. Skues and his methods as the preeminent force in early twentieth century fly fishing. The book is bound in brown cloth with gilt titles on the spine. Pictorial dust jacket (the jacket is from the third printing). A very good book with some foxing within the text. The dust jacket is good/very good with edge wear and chips at the spine ends..
