About This Item
(Cape Town: The Stewart Printing Company, [1948?]). 8vo; original black cloth, lettered in silver gilt on spine; no dustwrapper; pp. 251, incl. index; photographs. Extremities a bit rubbed; lower joint starting; moderate foxing to edges and endpapers, occasional fox spot elsewhere; earlier owner's name signed on title page. Good condition. (Curtis 20) "[The book] truly must have been a labour of love. It has incredible detail of people, places, events of historic importance, poetry, fishing tactics and fish biology. He draws on knowledge both local and from around the world and must have had an extensive library. If you are a flyfisherman who is also interested in the glory days of rock and surf fishing, you will really enjoy this book and in particular some of his quips." - Paul Curtis: Fishing the Margins, pp. 97-98 .
