Spinner's Delight
Publicado por Hutchinson's Library of Sports and Pastimes, London, 1951
Libro Original o primera edición
Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good to Very Good. First Edition. 1951. First edition. 202pp., a frontispiece, 9 black and white illustrations on plates and 9 figures within the text. Charles William Thurlow Craig (1901-1985) was the son of a colliery director in Denbighshire, Wales. After serving in the Royal Navy, he left Liverpoo for Buenos Aires, Argentina. He worked for the next dozen years as a farmer in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. He later returned to Europe, fought in the Spanish Civil War and Second World War, and finally retired to Wales where he wrote books on fishing and shooting. This book concentrates on the mechanics of spinning, the home manufacture of rods, baits, etc., but does not neglect the ways and habits of those fish which can be caught by spinning - pike, perch, chub, salmon and trout. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with black titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with light bumping and a little fading to the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and clean apart from a few small marks. There is some scattered light foxiing within the book and heavier foxing on the fore edge of the first 60 or so pages of the text block, and this has seeped a little way into the fore margin of these pages, including the title page. There is a name written on the front free endpaper together with an address stamp.The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with some soiling and bumping with small pieces missing from the corner tips and rear spine corners. There are several tears of up to about 1/2" on the edges and a larger tear of about 2 1/2" on the front spine edge. The wrapper is in an easily removed clear plastic protective cover.
