Isbn: 9781493036943 - fish on, fish off: the misadventures and odd encounters of the self-taught angler [idioma inglés] (14 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: Good. Fish On, Fish Off is the angling version of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. Through a series of nearly 50 personal essays, the author explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world - and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way. These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba's Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty on Block Island by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. If Upriver and Downstream showed the poetry of angling, Fish On, Fish Off shows the scars.…

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Condición: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Paperback, 2018). (2016) 2018 1st paperback edition. 8vo (129 x 210mm). Ppxiv,178. Sepia frontispiece photograph, watercolour vignettes by the author. Fine new unread copy. This book "is a well-guided fishing trip. It is also a tonic and antidote. I have spent decades reading and editing copy about, say, brick-heavy brook trout the colour of Canadian sunsets that always slide into landing nets just as barbless flies slip from their jaws. And there have been way too many silver bonefish that streak across golden flats and are invariably brought to hand with no mention of such realities as: the strands of white slime dangling from the leader or the broken rod tip that preceded a sloppy cast. Along with good [style] sparingly applied, (this book) provides us with something we've longed for even more - unvarnished truth presented with wit and humor." (From the Foreword by Ted Williams). The chapters are grouped into the following sections: Early, spastic, casts; Snags; Streamside hazards; Catching the creeps; Blood knots; In foreign waters; Later, graceless casts.
