Currently there appears to be no signed editions for sale. There are however 1st editions in a range of prices.

That's about £8 more than I like to pay for my books RR :Wink: but I will give you a quick profit and at least double your outlay.. how does 20 quid sound :Thumb: :Chuckle: Don't bite my hand off too quickly..... Seriously though that was an excellent purchase and it looks to be in lovely nick. :Hat:

Does the Medlar copy have all the original illustrations?
I got Casting at the Sun when it first came out, the medlar edition has none of the photos in it.

Abe books has several copies of fishing for a year the cheapest less than £50 ( not the medlar press).
If you search there for Jack Hargreaves they have many of the Lilliput magazine which appears to be published every two months.

I got a copy of this book late 2020 and its a cracking little book. I especially enjoyed the chapter on starting a child on their fishing journey.
I have just checked and my copy is a first edition (1951) and I think I paid 35 quid for it, it's in excellent condition but has no dust cover.

Thanks
