Default Where the Bright Waters Meet??

Would anyone have a copy of : Where the Bright Waters Meet? and thinking of selling it? Or maybe interested in swapping for another title!

Looks like the kind of book I would love to read.

Any help in acquiring a copy would be appreciated!

Mostyn

Thanks Shaun,

I did have a look at Amazon - eBay and a few others! I was hoping someone might be selling a copy; or perhaps considering a swap for another title.

Looks like Amazon is going to get my business £16.96 for a hard back copy.

Not a bad price for a new book. Could have had it for free, on a Kindle. But I don't have one. I bought a Kindle for my daughter, but she lives in Barnes, London. Bit far to travel just to read a book.

Mostyn, ring her each night, and get her to read you a chapter before bedtime.

Why didn't I think of that, Ha ha, I've bit the bullet and bought the book (where the bright waters meet) plus the Collins guide to British Animals!

Should get them both by the 19th, of this month.

I got my hands on a signed first edition a while ago..pride of place on the shelf and would take some serious swapping! Fantastic read as well.

It was one of those days of wild exhilaration that every dry-fly man knows, when his sixth sense is wide awake and he can tell by intuition where the next rise will be, when the water seems to palpitate with life and the big fish which have lain hidden all year come up to the top, when the duns float down thick and steady and stand out clear upon the shining water, when the swifts flash by you and every bird sings the roundel of joy. When you know, too, that you will cast right and land right; all the subconscious things that bubble up with blue water and high spirits, and fine weather, and green fields, and green trees, and golden mimulus, and make you want to shout because you are alive and in the open.


Mostyn, you will love it.
I envy you for having a first reading ahead of you.

Patrick,

just reading the words you've included in this post, would move anyone to a longing for the reading of it. Words that paint a heart warming picture of an idyllic place and time. I envy those who have already read the book and savoured the written word; and the magic of the writing.
I look forward to reading it.
