Too right Mark. I've not seen any of it yet myself but it certainly has the potential to be a very special book indeed.Mark wrote:This looks like a very interesting book chaps
Re: 'THE ANGLING ARTISTS' by Tony Meers
I agree it looks to be very special.
I have reserved a copy but sadly won't be able to get my hands on it until I return from Afghanistan in December.
Hopefully the wife won't mind another book being added to the growing pile I have ordered whilst away.
