THE YOUNG ANGLER. By W. Carter Platts.
(1940) 1969 4th edition. 8vo. (145 x 223mm). Ppviii,229+2pp ads. Colour frontispiece, b/w photographs and line illustrations. Cream boards, spine titled in dark brown.
A good all-round introduction to angling - flyfishing, coarse, salmon, trout, grayling, perch, pike, roach, barbel, boat and pier fishing, rock and surf fishing, big game fishing and a chapter on the sea and the fly rod. Aimed at a newly mobile audience who had perhaps only fished locally but who could now visit more or less anywhere by train. *What remains of the rear of the dust-wrapper is far worse than what can be seen from the front view of the book.
