Mint in dust-wrapper. From a limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies Signed by the author. This is the first authoritative reference work giving detailed information on identifying cases of fish taxidermy and linking them to their makers. Essential reading for angling historians, collectors, fishermen and antique dealers. English fish taxidermy and the collecting of cased stuffed fish has a long and fascinating history. Professional taxidermist and restorer Barry Williams begins with the 19th and 20th century story of the families of East End taxidermists who preserved the best of the catches of the London angling associations, the Piscatorial Society, the Flyfishers' Club, and many individual anglers. His research takes him around the country in search of work by numerous famous and less well-known taxidermists, and includes their business histories, details of much of their surviving work, and quite a lot about their often surprising personal lives. Barry gives detailed descriptions of the taxidermists' individual styles and also the characteristics by which their cases and fish can be identified. Williams takes pains to identify many individual fish and their captors, including much new information on angling controversies such as those surrounding some of the large pike claimed by well-known anglers such as Alfred Jardine and Dennis Pye. The book is illustrated with over 950 photographs, including portraits, documents, record fish, including many pike. Essential reading for all interested sportsmen and thoroughly deserving of the not inconsiderable shelf-space that this book will require.

Airmail parcels entering the USA are inspected by HOMELAND SECURITY. This can include opening the mail sack. Parcels to US addresses can therefore be delayed and sometimes take up to four weeks.

ALL CUSTOMERS, EVERYWHERE, please allow at least 14 days before contacting us to chase up your order. (In the UK the Royal Mail will not declare a parcel lost & take action before 14 days has elapsed. Overseas, postal services vary in efficiency from country to country. The Irish and the Japanese post offices seem quite good, for example, the Germans less so, and South Africa the slowest by a long way.)

IMPORTANT: If you are considering returning an item for any reason, you must contact us first to let us know you want to return your parcel.
