Publisher's Overview

This is not a technical book, indeed, neither one of real wordsmith talent. It's simply some memories of fishing times in the past. Enjoyed with friends and often in solitude.

verdict

I'm tempted to describe 'Memories and Milestones' as a simple book, but that could give the wrong impression, leading you to believe it has no depth, which it has.

Yet it is a simple book, in the respect that it is a little, inexpensive paperback that relates various anecdotes that have happened to Graham Elliott throughout the 45 years of his angling lifespan.

I think it wouldn't be unfair to describe it as a potted autobiography.

Of course Graham is best known for his angling guiding service, and he has heaps of experience of catching all sorts of fish, which he fishes for with a passion, as is evident in this book.

For a little less than eight quid it's well worth it, both for a very enjoyable read and for a place on your bookshelf for dipping into on those days when you can't get out on the bank.

rating: 9/10

Thank you for the kind comments, Graham.

I was overwhelmed by the response to my first book. In fact the whole 200 I had printed (I thought I might sell 10 or so!!) have all been snapped up in 3-4 weeks.

 The first 100 were individually signed/numbered and the last 100 were annotated as between 101-200 and signed.

As I said to the various friends, dealers and collectors  as the books disappeared........................

They might be worth 3s6d when I'm dead!

Thank you to all those of FM who bought one.

Next book about my guiding days and various stories, tinca's, sturgeon, perching will be out around May 2008.

Good Fishing.

Graham
