"This is not a book about the art of angling. Nor is it a book of the 'Me and Joe' genre which infested the book-stalls of my youth. I am not an angler of sufficient competence to be able to write with authority about the former, nor do I have any inclination to attempt the latter sort of book. This is a book about the fun I had with people in remote lands, people who would have been quite unable to tell the difference between a Greenwell's Glory and a Welshman's Button, but whose lives often depended on their ability to remove fish from the most unyielding of waters by fair means or foul. Usually foul." This first edition was limited to 550 cloth-bound and 50 leather-bound copies. This is one of the cloth-bound copies.
