Bound in original dark cloth with silver titling to the spine, the volume remains pleasingly square and firmly bound, with the hinges tight and unyielding. The cloth boards show minimal wear to the extremities, though there is a subtle band of fading or sunning along the uppermost edge of the front board and mild rubbing to the panels. Internally, the text block is highly presentable; a faint scattering of foxing is confined strictly to the endpapers and preliminary leaves, leaving the main body of the text crisp, bright, and completely free of any marginalia or prior ownership inscriptions. A sturdy, handsome copy overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This volume is a fine facsimile reprint of Westwood and Satchell's definitive 1883 angling bibliography, supplemented with R. B. Marston's crucial 1901 addendum. By combining these core texts into a single, comprehensive reference, this edition provides an uninterrupted catalogue of early fishing literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThough unillustrated, the work serves as an indispensable reference tool for serious collectors, dealers, and researchers of antiquarian sporting books. While the 1883 first edition commands a significant premium, this 1966 Dawsons reprint is relatively uncommon on the open market and remains highly sought after for its scholarly utility and durable academic binding.
