Loads of fishing books for sale and wanted, plus a magazine with reviews, articles and letters


BUYING BOOKS
Here you`ll find the large number of fishing books I have for sale. This list is continuously updated and so the best bargains are likely to be snapped up very quickly. To avoid missing out you can opt to receive an e-mail giving details of books the moment they`re added to the list. To use this free service please click here. If there are particular books you`re looking for I`ll be pleased to try to find them for you. Again there`s no charge for this so please click here.

MAGAZINE SECTION
Here you'll find a selection of articles, plus reviews of lots of fishing books. I can`t possibly do all of these myself so here`s your chance to enthuse about your favourite books or authors! Whether it`s just a few lines or a full-length article your contributions are most welcome. If you`ve any questions about fishing books please again send them in. If I can`t answer them myself I`ll publish them here and almost certainly someone will be able to help you. Eventually I also intend to provide details of all the UK fishing books ever published on specialist subjects, such as a particular species. The first of these is on perch, which many of you will know is my favourite fish.




What's new....

More site improvements

steve

These have now been completed. It`s now a lot easier to order books. Additionally a new page has been added to the for sale section listing books from the popular "How to Catch Them" series.

If you see any mistakes or have any suggestions to make please e-mail me at fishingbooks@uk2.net

Improved site navigation

Steve

The books for sale are about to be divided into the following categories: general, carp, other coarse, sea, game. This will make pages quicker to load, and it`ll be easier to find the books. There`s a lot of books involved, so please do bear with us whilst the changes are made.

Savay by John Harry

Would the enquirer about this book please phone me on 01303-813644 (9am-9pm) as e-mails to his address are failing to get through.

Please do put your phone number in the relevant box when you enquire about a book. The only phone call you`ll ever get from me is if my e-mails to you bounce. This is becoming increasingly common, especially if you use a small ISP or, strangely, AOL.

Waiting for Waddle

steve

Would the gent who e-mailed an enquiry about this book please call me on 01303-813644 any day between 9am & 9pm as e-mails to his address are being bounced. Cheers.

Yet another 50+ top titles added

These are mainly modern carp fishing books, including rarities such as Waiting for Waddle. In fact, if it`s a recent carp book it`s odds on it`s in this latest crop! By the way, amongst them are several signed copies. I`ll leave it to readers to have the fun of going through the list. However, once again, to avoid missing out I`d suggest you go on my mailing list - the most popular titles often go almost immediately!

Another 50+ top titles added

steve

These include a SIGNED 1st edition of the rare `My Way with Chub` by Tony Miles, plus the Chub Study Group`s book. There`s also a 1st edition hardback copy of `Carp, Now & Then` plus several 1st editions in the `How to Catch them series`, including the very hard to find `Grey Mullet`.

I`ve also just bought over 50 modern carp books, including many of the sought-after titles. These will be listed shortly.

Over 30 top titles added

steve

Some real classics amongst the currect crop, including Brian Crawford`s `Fishing for Big Eels`, Fred J. Taylor`s `Tench`, Fred Buller`s `Domesday Book of Mammoth Pike`, John Wilson`s A Specimen Fishing Year`, plus signed copies of both `Red Letter Days` & `The Book of the Perch`!

Apologies for no recent reviews but my health is still curtailing adding any and, what`s worse, doing much fishing.

Loads for books added to the For Sale list

steve

I`m just added about 50 new titles, including many sought after books on specialist fishing. However, there`s a wide selection and so there`s likely to be something for everyone.

There`s still more to add, so do register to go on my mailing list so that you don`t miss out on the popular titles - many of these go very quickly! You can register by clicking on the link above.
