Condizione: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2001). 2001 1st edition. Large 8vo (175 x 246mm). Pp374. B/w line illustrations. Brown cloth with tipped-on illlustration, silk marker. Slight marks to edges but a very good second hand copy. Signed by the author on the…title-page. An out-of-series copy, marks as 'show copy'. Andrew Herd is an associate editor of Waterlog and well-known for his witty contributions to the magazine. The Fly is the result of a decade's research into the history of fly fishing and is arguably the most authoritative work ever published on the subject. It breaks much new ground, particularly where medieval fly fishing is concerned and aims to put the reader in the shoes of our ancestors, enabling him to understand what it was like to cast a fly in times gone by, from the Romans to the present day. "Andrew Herd's text bristles with facts . . . blended with fresh and often colourful comments on the valuable and sometimes bizarre background material that has somehow eluded other authors." Fred Buller. ". . . one of the best pieces of writing and thought in fly fishing literature." John Betts. .

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2015). 2015 1st printing. 8vo (135 x 222mm). Pp320. Colour section, b/w photographs and illustrations, printed end-papers. Matt laminated boards. Slight browning to top edge but a very good copy. "The Anglers' Bible, explores the matchle…ss contribution made to [angling] by a single firm of tackle-makers - Hardy Brothers of Alnwick - through the lens of the catalogues they produced each year. Herd provides a connective narrative of the production of these mouth-wateringly tempting creations up to the 1914-18 War. But the chief glory of the book is visual. The colour plates reveal the matchless beauty of Hardy's rods, trout flies, salmon flies and spinning baits, and there are many pages of black-and-white illustrations celebrating the incredible ingenuity and skill of the company's team of craftsmen." (Tom Fort in Gamefisher). .
