REGIONAL ANGLING LITERATURE: a checklist of books on angling and the salmon fisheries in Scotland, Northern England, Wales and Ireland, with an introductory survey. By R.J.W. Coleby.

1979 1st edition. 8vo (145 x 222mm). Pp95. B/w illustrations. Green boards, spine titled in gilt, gilt salmon vignette to upper board.

One of the small handful of essential reference books for the collector of fishing books. The compiler was universally acknowledged as the leading authority on angling literature. To celebrate twenty years in the life of this book Ron Coleby produced a new dust-wrapper carrying a tipped-on plate from Jock Scott's "Greased line fishing for salmon". The book was originally issued in a clear glassine wrapper.
