This is not really an angling book but one that consists of chapters written by a variety of writes who have an affinity to rivers. Authors such as Chris Yates, Dexter Petley, Irvine Welsh, Roger Deakin and Bill Drummond have contributed and some are about fishing but overall it an interesting collection of essays on moving water and would make a good stocking filler for Christmas.
I think Amazon sell it at about £15 in hardback and the ISBN is 13:978-84403-670-7

Yes, a nice book of entertaining essays. Of those I've read so far I particularly liked The Ouse Burn by Kathryn Williams and the short piece on my local neighbourhood down on the "Dartford Delta" - Lazy Cray-sy Days of Summer by Kevin Pearce.
