A good book, I agree. The image of Tel in his postman's hut making up his hooklengths made me smile...
Just finished Jim Shelley's Carping uncut....glad I borrowed it raher than bought it. I found it very repetitive.

Bit like you cakey i can,t help rifling through the old books in charity shops. bought loads that way. Also a bit addicted to amazon at the moment, great way to buy books and cds, dvds etc Just bought an anthology of fishing tales put together by Jerremy Paxman, only half way into it but its very good.
