Zustand: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Paperback, 2005). 2005 1st edition. Spiral-bound red pictorial card covers. Ppiv,67. B/w line illustrations. Mint new copy. Donald Downs has been expertly tying flies for many years. Designed rather in the manner of Alfred Wainwright's famous fell-walking guides, this attractive facsimile of a handwritten notebook gives excellent drawings and step by step instructions. It will be invaluable to all fly-tyers for its practical content, and no doubt treasured in years to come, simply for its thoroughly satisfying appearance. Downs learned fly dressing from Geoffrey Bucknall and illustrated several books for him. He also worked with John Veniard, illustrating his books and tying flies in demonstrations with him. "In this book I aim to introduce a new technique with each fly - and enough flies to cover the minimum throughout the season." "This book is intended for those who feel that trout fly dressing is difficult [and] for anglers who dress one or two flies - and would like to dress a few more. It therefore looks at [the particular] techniques in some detail." Downs kept sketches of every fly pattern he ever tied, and the selection of flies in this book is compiled from these.

This book offers a unique insight into angling during and between two world wars and is enhanced by additional commentary, from his late daughter, the respected anthropologist, Professor Mary Douglas (1921-2007)."

Blue boards, spine titled in silver. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. "Simon Smith grew up in the town of Port Talbot, sandwiched between the hills and the sea of the South Wales coast. He spent all his time playing and lurking in the docklands and lakes near his home, ferreting about in the nearest vacant patch of muck. He was rarely seen by his parents between the hours of dawn and dusk. After his grandfather turned him on to fishing his parents never saw him at all. A new talent is always exciting and Simon's first book Running with the Tide - A Journey into Angling is one that we found both exhilarating and refreshing in its originality. 'Salt. Sea salt; the sea; sea air; sea fishing; a tumbling, roiling, frothing tumultuous chaos that fully erupted into my life at the age of eleven, immediately washing down through the years and mingling with that early experience and all those extreme and conflicting emotions it still embodied five or six years later: fear, excitement, disappointment and optimism but, above all, the sense of a new world waiting to be discovered. Dangerous, yes, but bloody exciting.'" .
