First copies of Martin Bowler and Hugh Miles' book Catching The Impossible, charting the pair's incredible angling adventures while filming their eight part series, has just landed in the office.
Suffice to say, if you like your angling books thenyou'd be a complete noddy if you didn't move heaven and earth to get your hands on a copy asap. No expense has been spared. And I mean none. They've even got reknowed wildlife artist Rodger McPhail to do 30 illustrations for the book. The pictures, many taken by AT photographer Mick Rouse or Hugh himself, are stunning and the copy is well written and all checked by AT associate editor Steve Partner.
Quite simply it's superb. I've ordered a leather bound already. One AT member went so far as to claim it's the best angling book for years. To be fair, when Martin (or anyone else for that matter) writes better copythan Yates then I'll eat my Harrison Flood rods.... but you won't be disappointed with the book, even at a hefty £31.45 including P&P.
Well done Martin and Hugh. Now get the series on terrestrial TV where it deserves to be!
