Re: Where the Bright Waters Meet by Harry Plunket Greene
The outside edge of the page with the photo shows a bit of a curl where it was bound, someone has stuck it in upside down. Nevermind, it is an excellent read. My copy has a loose page, my fault I fear :-)

Just for your information Wagtail, the first issue of the first edition is illustrated with a map on the rear end-paper. A later issue, that still only carried the 1924 date, has plain end-papers. The first issue seems more common in my experience.
Oh, and the copy in Badger's photograph is the Flyfisher's Classic Library edition.

Thanks Luke, there is a map in the back as you describe. I'm not worried about rarity or value (although if it was worth a fortune I might have said differently!) - it is just nice to be custodian of an original copyLuke wrote:Just for your information Wagtail, the first issue of the first edition is illustrated with a map on the rear end-paper.

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for quite some time now, will have to dust it off to whet my appetite for the forth coming trout season...
I can assure you SS that there are plenty of truly wild trout here in Cumbria!SofaSurfer wrote: I doubt that there are any truly wild trout south of the Scottish border.

Born in the river is good enough for me, whatever the parentage :-)

Hmm, that would be a heart stopping find. I did find a 1st edition of BB s with dust jacket and signed for £10. I think I have used up all my good luck :-)
