I’ve been in touch with John. It seems we can’t pre-order from the EU. He promised to take care of it when I send him an email in 2-3weeks

Not yet mate.

Hoping it arrives this next week, got a week's holiday after that which needs some good reading material to go along with a few beers in the sun 😎

I am too busy to get stuck into it at the moment but a quick flick looks interesting. Not many books with any bait making in these days so anything gets my interest

I have received mine to my dad’s house as I have been away the last few weeks. John did a great job in helping me change the delivery details when I realised they were being posted before I flew home. 👍

Will have a look this afternoon when I see my dad

Book appears to be of a high quality in terms of materials used etc.

I have only read the foreword, introduction, first chapter and about half the second one (second chapter is huge). So far its been a good read... very much similar to his wording and approach used in his youtube channel if you get what i mean. Not extremely detailed or scientific yet, however I am guessing that is about to come.
