"The Rapture Of The River" by S.A. Hey

[tyrrell]

My old man has recently given me a signed limited first edition copy of S.A. Hey's "The Rapture Of The River", which was in turn passed down to him from his uncle who was one of S.A. Hey's fishing partners back in the day. The author inscribed the book to my great uncle too.

Missing its original dust jacket, but otherwise in perfect nic.

Weather's looking dodgy for the weekend, so might get stuck into it...

Thanks Bushbuck. Good luck with your search!

I'm slowly but surely adding to my collection of old fishing books (picked up a 1st ed Fishermen's Eldorado the other day) and Milward reels

Hey buddy! Long time! All good here, just working my nuts off so have min fishing time lately. Heading through to Knysna tomorrow though so will hopefully wet a line.

I hope all is going well in EL! Putting in the time on the water?

I must have a look in the front cover of my copy and see if it is not a limited edition, as I recall it is a cloth bound copy. Luckily still with its dust cover.

Thanks for the tip!
