This is an excellent copy of The Best of Hardy Tackle Guides, compiled and published by Jamie Maxtone Graham. One of the pioneers of the Collectability of Antique Fishing Tackle.
The Catalogue is comprised of compilation of the most important progressions in the introduction and development of Fishing Tackle by The Worlds most famous Manufacturer - Hardy Brothers of Alnwick.
