Hi Alex,
I've not been able to find out much information on the book, other than it was reproduced in 1960 from chapters in Stillwater Angling 1953 as a paperback....it was first published in this format, not as a hardback, unless I'm mistaken yours must be a more recent reprint.

I still wouldn't sell. You are talking history here.
Give it to someone you really like as a present, then they would cherish it forever.
