The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes. Sea Fishing de Bickerdyke, John, and others

(London, Longmans, Green, and Co., 1907). 8vo; original pictorial cloth; pp. xviii + 513 (+ adverts.); plates; line drawings in text. Ex-library copy with label on front pastedown and code on spine; light wear to cloth; some hand-stamps and codes inside; scattered moderate foxing. Good condition. "People who are only acquainted with the comparatively rough methods of professional fishermen may be disposed to declare that there is no sport to be obtained in the sea. But those who do me the honour of perusing the following pages can hardly fail to be convinced that salt water is as sport-yielding as fresh, and that there are many kinds of sea fish so wary and such powerful swimmers that in their capture the knowledge and skill of the sportsman are all important." .
