THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS OF BOOKS 1, 2 and 3. THE BRITISH CARP STUDY GROUP 1969-2009.

(1973, 1975, 1980) 2009 40th anniversary edition. 4to (195 x 257mm). Pp96, 84 and 127. B/w photographs. Three paper-bound volumes in pictorial slipcase. Edition limited to 400 sets. "Digitally reprinted 2009".

Digitally reprinted new editions of the British Carp Study Group's first three books published to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Group. Only 400 paperback sets were produced. "The celebrations for the 40th Anniversary of the formation of the British Carp Study Group would not be complete without a permanent reminder of the event. With this in mind we decided to reprint the first three volumes of our sought after BCSG books. The books have been digitally reprinted, this means we had to take apart three originals and scan them. Covers and texts then had to be recreated; some had to be adjusted more than others due to water and other damage that had occurred to the originals over the years. Anyway these changes mean that they do differ from the originals in some ways, but I have tried to keep the quality as high as possible during their creation. I hope you are as happy with them as I was when I set eyes on the first samples when they arrived at my desk." (Andy Dixon).
