Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Beautiful photos of fish (generally freshly landed fish lain on their sides and asked to keep still!) and evocative shots of lakes and rivers - a real fisherman’s book (do fishermen read books?)

The descriptions include fins, fin rays and no of scales in the lateral line which are used for technical identification of fish

Later republished by Treasure Press (1988)
