A cracking read. I was a pleasure to see Martin at the launch of Big Roach 2.
I should point out that there is a slight error in the blog. Big Roach 2 costs £25. There were 40 special cloth-bound numbered first editions produced not leather-bounds, and as far as I know all have now sold. generally the book has been very well-received.
Nice piece from Martin and could I reiterate his recommendations of the two books, both excellent and would make a super Christmas present for any angler.
Good read, nice Barbel, even better when you have had to wait and think them on the hook.
Good luck with the book Mark-W; you should do a series, Big Pike, Big Bream etc. keep you busy, your still young. All the best Mark-G.
