It was Ken Whiteheads 'coarse fishing skills'. I took it to the bank with me and read it and re-read it a thousand times or more. I still have it somewhere.

Favourite Swims, Fred J Taylor

Crabtree was the first book of my own but I was already surrounded by my fathers fishing library.

[Hovis]

Mine was by the man John Wilson and called “The Complete Coarse Fisherman” it was new when I got it so I would have been around 12. I treated it as my bible for many years.

[Dave Burr]

Fishing for Roach with Mr Cherry and Jim passed on by Grand Father then at Christmas I had No Need to Lie by Dick Walker.

[Snape]

I have fished since I was three years old so struggle to be sure what my first book was but this is one I remember. I recall gazing at those perch and imagining the boy was me.
It is still on my bookshelf

The 1956 version of "Angling Ways" by E Marshall-Hardy, possibly for my 10th birthday.
