Carp fever was a landmark, but for me Jack Hiltons "Quest for Carp" was amazing, also enjoyed Jim Gibbinsons first carp book, "The Carp" from the Richard walker Series, while "Confessions" was a classic too, these followed on by some of Hutchy`s and Yates books, paisley also wrote some fine books, in later years Maylin I found enjoyable, now a days everybody and his bivvy bitch writes carp books
