Norrie Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Due to image size, I can only upload a couple of three in the one post...:) 1...The Tourists Guide and Anglers Companion for the valleys of Ettrick and Yarrow. By W.Crichton of Selkirk.No Date, but looks to be late Victorian or very early 20th Century. This book was a gift to a lady from her father James Crichton, all notated in the flyleaf, so, direct from the authors family.It's full of great info on the area, and a very rare book to see. I've never seen a copy before, and I collected angling books for 20 years. Lots of local hotels, and shops advertised at the front and rear of the book...Now...Condition, the spine is slightly loose on one side at the bottom, last page is loose, and two pages of adverts have parts (1/3rd ) missing. But all in all, a great book to own. £20. 2..Calling All Fly Fishers by Alan D'Egville1946, unclipped. Some slight foxing, but not bad at all. A comical look at fly fishing for salmon and seatrout. Annoted to Father from Irene. £10 3..Goose Shooting by A.Cadman, no date, but assume app 1960. Part 7 of the Shooting Times Library, aimed at younger shooters and written in that sort of style.Unclipped and in VGC for its age. £10. 4..Fly Fishing for Grayling. An ultra rare copy of a book by John Roberts Dated 1999, and in mint condition, looks to be unread. Some excellent colour plates of various flies to be used. The Graying Society recommend this book...if you can find one.,.Lots of copies on the bay starting at about £35 for heavily used copies, to well over £150. £25 for my copy.
