Hampton's Angling Bibliography: Fishing Books 1881-1949

Description

In 1947 Herbert Jenkins published Modern Angling Bibliography - a book by John Fitzgerald Hampton. It was the first new British angling bibliography since Bibliotheca Piscatoria, by Westwood & Satchel in 1883 (added to by R. B. Marston in 1901). His 1947 book was intended to be a stop-gap while he worked on what would eventually be a true British angling bibliography. It was the draft of this new work that has been used as the basis for this new edition.

This new book contains titles & details on virtually all British angling books published between 1881 & 1949. It is a wholly new work, including the corrected & augmented entries from Hampton’s original book & manuscript, plus additions by Ken Callahan & Paul Morgan that exceed in number Hampton's own original material! This work has eventually resulted in a much needed & indispensable new reference to British angling books.
