Handsome reprint of the classic work on angling, very handsomely bound in full maroon calf by Bayntun's of Bath, with gilt fishing tool to front, highly gilt ornaments to spine, contrasting morocco labels, gilt turn-ins and page edges; marbled pastedown pages and endpapers. A magnificent copy of this angling masterpiece, oft reprinted but seldom in such a fine binding.
