Finally got mine on New Years Eve, but then I do live a bit further away than most.
I ordered 3 books - 2 from Calm Productions; Through the Mist & Rolling in the Deep - and also Subsurface IV
The postage to Australia for the 2 from Calm doubled the cost of each book (36 quid each!!!), whereas the Subsurface postage was slightly cheaper at 20 quid.
As has been mentioned many times already, the 2 books from Calm each came in a jiffy bag and arrived damaged, whereas the Subsurface book was well packed in cardboard and arrived completely in tact.
Content-wise, I'm more impressed with Adam Penning's book than Terry's. I think its because the videos have already spoilt a number of the stories so there is no mystery in them. although there are a few interesting bits. Adams is much more of a life story and that appeals more.
Subsurface IV is a different beast altogether, and I'm well impressed, despite what others have said about the lack of words. A quick flick through the pages makes me want to get back out on the bank of my syndicate, but I fear that is more than a year off now. Think I'll be getting a few more books before wetting a line ...

It is warm/cold for me as well but as others said knowing about captures before hand seeing them on web, his Christmas videos etc does spoil a lot but I guess that is the nature of the beast now days. It has been to long since his last book and it seams everything was crammed in to much... It looks like he is rushing and jumping to much here and there...

Daves last book is quite abit off his last two aswell, not just Terry's,
I think they probaly forgotten what they went on in the captures because so many yrs has past since their last book.

They also both fish for a living now, whereas the early books were about the pleasure and scraping by in the process. It's bound to have an effect on the stories.

made my eyes bleed trying to read it, not sure if anyone else has the same, wording on all left hand pages to far over towards the spine meaning I virtually have to snap the book in half to read it. gave up looking at the photos aswell,all to dark.

I must be lucky. My copy only has very very minor print issues. A bit of faded text twice in the whole book.

Got to agree with you on the pictures being dark but my copy hasnt got the print problems , it has got smudges of blue ink on some of the pages though. Its well written ( unlike my posts 😂😂
but i think the markets been flooded with these type of books now and they're all pretty much the same. Getting a bit boring, i got to the burghfield chapter and couldnt be bothered to read it so stuck it back on the book shelf with the other 40 or so books...

I finally got around to reading a copy, thanks to a mate
My thoughts are that if I had not seen the videos and read the articles then this would be up there with his other two. Unfortunately I already knew the stories, or at least most of them.
Good point earlier about this and Dave Lane's last book. I never even finished Dave's last book, found it incredibly dull. I think the grit and subsidence of their earlier books and lifestyles made for more interesting reading.
Maybe it's me but I haven't really enjoyed a carp book for ten years or so.

I finished 'through the mist' last night,
my wife who stayed up until 03.30 on the launch night to get it for me asked "well was it worth all the hype and effort ?"
I of course replied " yeh great" ,
not really though, found it fairly hard going, and unlike his first two easy to put down. As others have said, his videos which I love, meant I knew most of the stories already.
However just started Adam Pennings book and that seems very good so far 👌
