Him reading his books on audio would be amazing. He's such a strong story teller and carp anglers have all got time on our hands to listen whilst fishing.

Exactly
No printing, pain in the chuff distribution, no running out of stock.
He would make a quid or 2 as well as he'd sell the same storys twice, certainly to me anyway

If somebody knows him give him a nudge, lockdown project

We're not talking about a photocopy though are we. We're talking about 3 faded words from nearly 500 pages.
His first book was miles worse and its generally considered one of the best carp books ever written. My point is it doesn't spoil the read itself.

Totally agree Yonny, some of my favourite books were bought from the charity shop and have other peoples tea/baked bean/god knows splashed on them. Makes no difference whatsoever to the story within.
Each to their own, some people put astroturf under their reels so they don't get dirty!

Quite. Mine has 3 cigarette type burn holes in it. Couldn't give a monkeys. Still an enjoyable read from someone who shares my take on the sport.

And these guys that skipped chapters because they'd seen the ESP vids. That's like being a liverpool fan, reading Stevie Gs autobiography, and skipping the champions league chapter because you watched them win it.
It's all about the story. If you just want facts you might as well read an encyclopedia.

Like being a Liverpool fan
Skipping chapters is just plain ridiculous, there's far more detail in those chapters than the YouTube vids!
I really enjoyed the Ellis chapter, what a bit of angling that was.

Regardless of what your purchasing and what it costs your paying for a product which should be free of any faults or defects
It's upto you wether you accept it or not
Calm need to improve the quality of product and service after this book release though. The only way to do that is by their customers highlighting the errors in the book.
Maybe next time they won't rush a release so much
Or be like Yonny

Let's get real. A couple of faded words makes zero difference to the read of the book. Hardy worth crying about. If you had pages missing or paragraphs hard to read then by all means spit your dummy out. But over a couple of words, which incidentally are still readable? Doesn't exactly warrant this level of upset does it

I agree that calm are shambolic, and I agree that they need to be told.
But I cant be bothered to labour my point regards the read itself for a third time.

I've read books with numerous shocking spelling errors and God knows what, and seen subtitled videos with the spelling of a 6 year old. With spellcheck there's no excuse. Didn't spoil the content of the book though but it did wind me up LOL

Yeah carp books in particular are terrible for it. I guess ultimately the authors are anglers as opposed to writers. But I agree it doesnt hurt to hit the spell check once in a while
