1.0 out of 5 stars do not buy, 22 Aug 2005
Please note that the "search inside" option displays a different edition!
At first glance this might be easily overlooked (as happened to me). The miniature edition sold here is an utterly useless waste of money.
Annoyingly misleading, the down-side of buying online.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, 5 Feb 2004
After ordering this book thinking that it would be a normal size book, it turned out to be a miniture editiion which was not disclosed in the title or summary. I found the book difficult to read due to it's size and if I took it fishing with me then chances are I would lose it because it is so small. I would advise other interested parties to order the paperback full size version and not this tiny piece of nothing.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you buy this book you are a dummy!, 18 Jul 2001
By Ian Gillespie (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the most disappointing book I have ever bought. For a start it is tiny, measuring 8cm x 7cm x 1cm thick. The 'information' contained is presented in an insultingly patronising tone e.g. "...a hook is a pointed piece of metal that you attach to your line. Sometimes the point is buried inside some bait...." This book might be useful to explain fishing to a three year old American (it is an American publication) but it is of no use whatsoever for a person with an IQ greater than their shoe-size who is thinking of taking up fishing and looking for practical advice and information...
