Fishing for a Year

[Michael]

Yet another on the wish list.
Was there ever a Jack Hargreaves biography written?

"Jack Hargreaves A Portrait" written by Paul Peacock, published by Farming Books and Videos Ltd. A cracking read, and it also lists all Jack Hargreaves TV programmes between 1960 and 1982

I have no idea why I didn't buy this when medlar first published it I kick my self now as there quite collectable in there own right may be ill pick one up on ebay for decent price one day as the the new ones don't look as nice as the limited edition version

[Mario]

I managed to buy a quarter bound copy on ebay for a good price ive been collecting the medlar original editions for a while now a few weeks ago I bought great pike stories for a decent price

I was very lucky to buy a copy of the original (1951 Macgibbon & Kee) with dw in near fine condition for £8.50 ! some years ago in a bookshop in Stamford, its a lovely book and its size of 7.5'' x 5'' fits neatly in the hand. Only 112 pp with great b/w line drawings, not a wasted word. The 'small stuff and beginners' chapter mentions 'Tommy Ruffe' !! When I've got a chance I will post a few pics.

I'd very much like a copy of this one of my hero's was our Jack.

Would love to find a Jack Hargreaves Avon rod as mentioned in an early 70's Bennetts of Sheffield ad too!

Very nice indeed Mazza.

I've just finished this book.

What a lovely, refreshing read it is too.

There is information and wisdom here that I'd not encountered in any other publication and I feel enlightened by reading it.

For those that remember Jack from TV, you will actually hear his voice reading the book to you as you go through the chapters.

Heartily recommended!
