The Northwest Coast people devised ingenious ways of catching the different species of fish, creating a technology vastly different from that of today’s industrial world. With attention to clarity and detail, Hilary Stewart illustrates their hooks, lines, sinkers, lures, floats, clubs, spears, harpoons, nets, traps, rakes and gaffs, showing how these were made and used in over 450 drawings and 75 photographs. One section demonstrates how the catch was butchered, cooked, rendered and preserved. The spiritual aspects of fishing are described as well — prayers and ceremonies in gratitude and honour to the fish, customs and taboos indicating the people’s respect for this life-giving resource. The fish designs on household and ceremonial objects are depicted — images that tell of fishing’s importance to the whole culture.
A new and much enlarged edition of J. Fitzgerald Hampton's Modern Angling Bibliography, revised and augmented by sporting booksellers Ken Callahan and Paul Morgan, with 14 pages of new essays and 184 pages of new material. The first serious attempt at a British angling bibliography since the supplement to Westwood & Satchell's Bibliotheca Piscatoria in 1901, Hampton intended the 1947 edition to be a stop-gap pending accumulation of more material. Whilst the planned sequel never appeared, a draft of it was preserved. The present work incorporates corrected and augmented entries from this draft as well as the first edition. The extent of Callahan and Morgan's new material exceeds that of the whole 1947 edition, and this edition amounts to a wholly new work. Used in conjunction with Bibliotheca Piscatoria, we expect this book to be the standard bibliography on the subject for many years to come. "Every reader and collector of angling books should have one" (Fred Buller). "This is a major achievement, of great value to anyone interested in the British-centred literature of angling... No angling bibliophile should hesitate to buy a copy" (David Beazley).
