HARDY LIST OF CATALOGUES AND BOOKS

Post by Snoekjaeger »

Hello, I have made a list of all the Hardy catalogues and books I could find. The list is below.
It would make me very happy if this list could be expanded with more data. I am missing the data (and/or numbers) of different editions like the Super Bottom editions, etc
Please post any additions/corrections/remarks

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Would you like to share the years of yours and (if mentioned) the edition ?
This could help to complete the list
Best regards,

Good thread, thanks for posting.
Is it possible to post scans of any of the Super Bottom Fishing catalogues please?
These are usually way out of my price range.
I don't know much about copyright issues, or the work involved, but it would be much appreciated.
I would particularly like to have a look at the 1955 catalogue.
Thanks.

I’ve just caught up with this magnificent thread, and thought that it may be policy to post some images from the Jess Miller Book “The Dunkeld Collection” - if anyone wants any more, happy to oblige
