Mine turned up after only a week or so and in mint condition which seems like a rarity having flicked through here. Have also noticed the dodgy print on the left hand page. Nothing that I'm worried about, but I'd be a bit pissed if I was Terry.
Content so far has been great, strong first chapters. Got to agree with what someone else said that I'm not overly excited to read a lot of the chapters as they've been largely covered on some form of media before. Wasing, Burghfield, Tunnels & Little Grey for example.

I have a friend who is a carp book collector. I was working in his house this weekend when he happened to have just received Terry's book and Subsurface 4. I have to say from a purely design and feel point of view, Terry's was very underwhelming. I don't think Calm Productions have really done him justice at all. It's got a cramped feel to it, the whole thing looks shoe horned in. The layout is far too boxy. Simple half page photo, top or bottom of the page with text crammed in above/ underneath. Very disappointing. Doesn't have a feel of a designed book, more an exercise of just fitting it all in. If it had the layout and feel of the latest subsurface or the bcsg books it would be amazing. As it is, although I'm sure it's a brilliant read, it looks and feels like just another carp book. Shame as it could have been spectacular. A missed opportunity to do something very special.

Received two one signed and one not (not to resell btw). The signed one came a few days late by Royal Mail and the non-signed one came via APC. Both of them where put through the letterbox which is not ideal as its a large drop, but luckily the both books are still mint.
The whole experience was shocking. I know people who have received two signed books when ordered them together, people who ordered them before people who received signed copies yet there's weren't. Deffo a company to avoid
Also forgot to the mention the none signed ones also have a lot of faded words on the ink. Seems their quality control is bad

My subsurface 4 showed up same day too. Work of art. But Terry's books have never been about that (for me anyway). The printing in his first book was shocking and some of the photo reproductions in the second leave a lot to be desired. In fact I chuckled at the print in this new one as it took me back to the first. It doesnt matter. It's all about the read, and all three of Terry's are in my top 5 I reckon.

14 years have passed but they've kept the same style for this book. At least that's consistent. Hence why it seems outdated, it's because it is I guess.

Disappointed to receive my book damaged with the hardcase outer corner bent over. Sadly it seems I'm not the only one.

Flick of the Tale is great. Got Ozs book for Christmas so looking forward to reading that. I really enjoyed a Fool and His Eel as was about more than just carp fishing

A Fool and His Eel is another work of art mate.
You'll love Oz's book. One of those that makes you want to drop everything and go fishing.
