Hi,
Mr. Bradbury, it would make a fantastic present for a non-angling friend and I should know, I wrote it.
Seriously, Graham's right. It's in no sense a summation of modern methods and techniques, but rather an attempt to capture something of the magic of angling through a series of stories, anecdotes and observations. If you think that'll get your friend's attention, then be my guest!
cheers
Rob
