Chaps,
For those interested in angling literature, but who cannot afford - or who are not prepared to pay! - the prices asked for some of the older classics, I heartily recommend the following website:
http://openlibrary.org/
It is a Beta site, run by the Boston (US) Library, which makes books available, in scanned form, free of charge. I was able to read
Coarse Fishing, by H.T. Sheringham, and
North Country Flies, by T.E. Pritt in their entirety. Just use the search function on the homepage.
Regards,
Samson
