I finished reading this book at the weekend and I thought it was absolutely superb!
From the introduction to the final piece, it is so readable. Phil's style is so easy to read and everything is imbued with his particular sense of humour, which I'm sure so many of you know! We have been inundated with great books recently and compared to when I was a bairn starting out in this hunting lark, we really are spoilt for choice. I've had the pleasure to walk out with Phil and Mike a few times and they've had me doubled up with laughter everytime I've been with them. This really comes across in the book and I found myself laughing out loud when reading it. I don't want this to come across as arse kissing, but this book is absolutely excellent! Let's face it, we've all been waiting for Phil to put pen to paper again! The photos are top notch to go with the text and it was a total joy to read. Phil mentions Dave Harcombe in the intro and along with him, Phil has to rank with one of the very best if this is anything to go by.
Can't wait for the next one!

Read this book a few weeks ago now. I've actually been waiting to voice my own opinions as I noticed there were thirty comments. Thirty One's my number so I've been holding back. Now I see TF's comments are the 31st Post? Bugger! :laugh: But I'll be back to stitch in what I have to say, later. That'll make mine the 31st Response to Ian's opener.
Just too busy and distracted right now to really say what I want to. I'll be back later tonight. Once I've had my dinner and got the fires going. Get comfy ..... then I'll begin! ;)
