ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1984). (1981) 1984 reprint. Large 8vo (159 x 240mm). Ppxii,339. B/w maps, bibliography. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Various minor faults. Lacks dust-wrapper. A good reference copy only. "There has been no comprehensive study of t…he salmon waters of Scotland for sixty-eight years, and in that time much has happened to alter their characteristics both physically and in terms of their ability to support runs of Atlantic salmon .This definitive work, by two experts [Derek Mills and Neil Graesser], covers every salmon water from the border to the Outer Hebrides, describing each river from source to estuary, and including every major salmon-bearing tributary." In addition to a thorough treatment of each river in the text, pull-out maps of the relevant stretches of each give the name and location of each beat and pool. A fascinating and thorough work, still of great relevance as a position statement for the Atlantic salmon which may be compared with studies undertaken since that time. .

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2016). 2016 1st edition. 8vo (165 x 242mm). Pp87. Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations and maps. Pictorial card covers with flaps. Out-of-series copy from an edition limited to only 250 copies. A bumped unsigned out-of-series copy.…A good reference copy. This book gives "an historical review of our knowledge of salmon. It briefly looks back to the times of Izaak Walton and Sir Walter Scott when various theories concerning the parr and smolt were raised as to whether or not they were the young of salmon. It follows on to record the experiments of Brown who reared and released parr and smolts on the Tay and confirmed them to be the young of salmon. The work of the early salmon biologists such as Calderwood, Menzies and Malloch is documented and leads us on to more recent investigations that require teamwork due to the effects on the freshwater environment of agriculture and industry. In this way more knowledge is accumulated and benefits further research and conservation, the results of which are discussed. The outcome of symposia and conferences are described and it is evident over time that the research was increasingly being centred towards the marine environment, particularly in Norwegian, Faroese and Greenland waters. The decline in salmon stocks leads to international concern through conservation organisations such as NASCO and the Atlantic Salmon Trust and it becomes obvious that conservation limits and stricter controls on exploitation are required." .

Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. "Megan Boyd is considered to be one of the world's finest salmon… fly tyers. Born in 1915, she was brought up in the Highlands of Scotland where her father was a bailiff on the River Brora. She began taking flytying lessons at the age of twelve and soon gained a reputation for tying beautiful feather-wing flies which were extraordinarily durable and lasted many seasons. In 1935, at the age of twenty, Megan left home and moved into a small cottage near Brora where she lived without electricity or running water until the 1980s. Visiting anglers from all over the world, from royalty and captains of industry to locals, and those who came to fish the Highland rivers for salmon, would stop by her cottage to watch her tie flies and place orders. This book is based on Megan's papers which she left just before her death in 2001 to neighbouring flytyer and friend Jimmy Younger, and the archive has been edited by fisheries academic Derek Mills. It also features fascinating first-hand accounts of those who knew and loved Megan by David Profumo, Orri Vigfusson, Gloria Younger and Glyn Satterley." Contents include:- Background to this book; Megan's Legacy; Herself; Her river; The commercial side; The flies she tied; Fellow flytyers; Friends and customers; An honour bestowed; Those who knew her; The end of a legend. .
