Wake up and taste the coffee as the fish are rising
|
|
As you turn the pages you are drawn into John's world, a world that revolves around fishing and good companions. His sense of humour is there throughout also his love of nature and the environment. A pleasure to read and a book that appeals to Fishing men and women as well as less fortunate folks that dont fish. It is a great taster of the other books he has written and on the back of reading this I purchased several more of his books. A good book.

Great for the newcomer to Gierach but it is existing work

I've given it three stars because I was disappointed find my worst fears realised - this "treasury" is not new work but a collection of 40 of John's best from six of his published books. Don't buy it therefore, in the hope of fresh thoughts from the master because if you are a Gierach devotee you'll have read it all before and it wouldn't deserve Gierach's usual five stars because he shouldn't get them twice. However for those fortunate enough to be newcomers... this book will be a happy and five star introduction to his style. When do we get the next real new one, John?
