Very nice Steve. I still have one of your catalogues from I think 1996'ish when your shop was at Castle Donington.

Mark Look after it might be collectable one day .My first catalogue was in 1991 dealing in books from home and country fairs on a larger scale then moving onto fishing tackle in Castle Donnington just as Kingfishers of Stow closed down.Time does fly when your are having fun,long may it last.

Would those be Thelwells, Steve?


They remind me of one his cartoon books on angling I've got tucked away somewhere.

Nobby, if I had to guess I'd say they might be from Thelwell's "Compleat Tangler"?
