Didn't think it was a secret that it was the Ellis. Tels referred to it by name in videos before and I thought it was fairly common knowledge if you're from vaguely round the area.
Both the big mirrors gone now, as is the ‘Ivy Pool' mirror, lost that in the summer. And the Tunnels fish all died as well.
I know there's a few Tel enthusiasts that like to try and follow the same path of lakes and fish - they might struggle emulating the majority of these now 😂

Not that I saw. My copy arrived earlier and I had a quick thumb through.
No contents page which is a bit weird

I must have thumbed past it twice then!!
Either that or they forgot to put one in my copy, which lets be honest doesn't seem beyond the realms of possibility

A 1st edition with a unique flaw that would make it worth even more
Next time you touch it better use gloves

I'm disappointed with what I have gathered so far as Terry seems to have played it very safe with the waters covered, indeed he has already covered most of these captures in some form elsewhere. From what I gather he has left the interesting stuff out.
Yes, I will buy it though, cos it's Terry.

That's because the whole game is stale, nothing ground breaking for a while now, not even sure if there's anything left to break new ground, just the same fish but bigger in the same old ponds.

If you think it's still the same big fish in the same ponds you're out of touch. Most of said bigguns are goners now but there are plenty of new good strain fish out there.

That's the point - it used to be about the “mystery” of either relatively unknown “history” fish and/or hard venues, whereas now most of the fish are younger known fish, albeit from a decent looking fast growing strain.
Just think how old Bazil, Mary, Heather, the Park Lake fish, two tone, etc were compared to some of the newer fish

New is a relative point with age. The fish that were ‘new' when Bazil was ‘old' twenty years ago are the same age now. Many are just off the circuit of YouTube and book whoring.
And Two Tone was a wrongun

What interesting stuff has he left out then?
There won't be stacks of unknown fish / venues because 1. They don't really exist anymore or not to the extent of filling a book about them and 2. he has sponsers to keep happy so most of his captures are published by ESP one way or another
