I enjoyed Adam Penning's book too. Only problem is the weight of it. I actually find many carp books are a bit like our quarry themselves......an obsession with size and weight.

I actually preferred the old maylin books etc which were a nice size for holding for an evening and actually reading!

Finally bought that one last month and really looked forward to reading it. Halfway through now and it doesn't really get to me. Is it a matter of taste, or do people also rank it highly for sentimental reasons?

Darrell Peck, my misspent youth, is my favourite book. Have read it over and over again. The effort he put into his fishing makes you feel like catching on your chosen water should be a doddle 👍
