stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Now then, are there any book collectors out there, I've just been given a book written by the legendery Richard Walker, no dust cover, but absolutely mint otherwise, just wondered if it is collectable, being as he is the grandfather of carp fishing, It's called walkers pitch, printed in 1959, any Ideas!

Barbus 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi mate, I've heard of this book but dont know much about it. The best thing is to see if there on E-bay for a price guide, failing that you could try Coch-Y-Bonndu (spelling?) Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 It will be worth a few quid matey. RW was the father of modern specimem hunting as we know it. He was someone who had a brilliant mind and reasoning. Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted November 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 The one I have is first edition, £92.18 will do for me, read the book, not a bad read for something that old, things have moved on since then, but RW was a very clever angler, thanks for working the price out nelson1.
