Book: New, sealed in Shrink wrap, in slipcase.

"Simply stated, this is a massive, indispensable book of essential information on one of our favorite subjects: angling books. Never before has the angling book collector - from the casual to the maniacal - had available a singular, authoritative reference. Charles Thacher, the retired founder of a consulting firm, and an avid collector, brings his analytical focus to this nearly unmanageable subject. He has compiled critical data on over 15,000 angling books - both American and foreign - that have been sold over the past seven years by auction houses and more than 1,500 book dealers. Nearly every collectible book is included, with detailed descriptions of each book’s interior, binding, condition and price. Multiple copies of most books are listed. Each price is documented by the seller and date. Whether you are buying, selling or simply looking for an insight into the current value of your collection, this book is essential, the source book. The book is organized by author, with most titles listing multiple examples, and pages are double-columned providing an encyclopedic amount of information. At the same time, it is quite easy to navigate, and a very useful title-to-author index is included. Who among us could possibly be without this?" One of 600 un-numbered copies.
