Sure, I get that and I respect it too. Don't mean to slander him or anything, because I did enjoy his early writings. That wasn't the question though.

Sort of agree , it's like you have a good working product , and you get the most out of it while you can . The trio of his books / story's were great , and even though I have all the books those three are the ones to read .

Could not agree more.

He has in some way tarnished his legacy by some of the stuff he's put out in recent years. Often poorly written and badly proof read if at all. Most of it is a rehash from the mags put in book form. And not even getting permission from the author in some cases to do so , from what I'm lead to believe.

Still wish he'd do a podcast or interview. That would be some listen.

If they paid him then I'm sure he would. Famously loves a pound note.

Interesting to note as I've read some of the later stuff and it is awful to read either numerous typos, poor grammar and photos out of order to the writing. Put me off paying to get the older stuff, but maybe I should based on these comments

The first three books were brilliant.
As where the early big carp mags.

After that Dont waste your time or money


I'm surprised more people aren't being more vocal about some of the negatives about Mr Maylin.

Yes the first 3 books were very good, i also bought one last cast when it came out started to read it but for me it just wasn't like the first 3 i never did get to finish it
