An excellent book written by one of the fathers of modern carp angling. Chapters include: Tackle and equipment; Terminal tackle; Boilie discourse; Boilie Making; Particles, floaters and others; Groundbaiting and prebaiting; Margins, snags and surface; Hitting the horizon; Deep waters; The weed problem; Winter through spring; Home and away; The foreign trip; Reference section. Excellent advice from an angler who really knows what he's talking about. It is also becoming increasingly scarce.
