A selection of the best articles to appear in Angling Times during the eighteen months preceding publication. An excellent read as are the three other books in the series. Contributions from all of the well-known names of the era - Bernard Venables, Fred J. Taylor, C.R. Gamble, Hugh Stoker, Dick Walker, John Barratt, Dennis Pye, Frank Murgett, B.A. Pearson, Steve Crawshaw, Bernard Donovan, Ken Seaman, A. Oldfield, F.W. Holiday, C.H. White, Derek Fletcher, Clive Gammon, Leslie Moncrieff, Peter Stone, D.L. Wray, Eric Taylor, Jim Wheat, Tag Barnes, Ray Robson, Julian Venables, R.J. Loader, Peter Tombleson, Les Baverstock, A. Dean Leach and George Goldsmith Carter. The dust-wrapper of this title is notoriously fragile and copies in good condition are quite hard to find.
