An engaging and particularly useful reference for collectors of vintage Hardy fishing tackle, bringing together selected material from the celebrated Hardy Brothers' catalogues.
For generations, the Hardy Anglers' Guides served as far more than ordinary sales catalogues. Lavishly illustrated and carefully produced, they documented the development of some of the finest fishing rods, reels and accessories ever made in Britain.
In The Best of Hardy's Anglers' Guides, Jamie Maxtone Graham draws upon his extensive collection of original Hardy catalogues to present a selection of historically important designs, innovations and products from the Alnwick firm.
Of particular interest are the developments in Hardy's celebrated fly reels, including the Perfect, alongside rods, flies, accessories and the many ingenious pieces of equipment that established Hardy's international reputation.
Beyond its value as a collector's reference, the book offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of fishing tackle during a period when craftsmanship, mechanical ingenuity and practical experience were closely intertwined.
This copy is the first edition, published by Macdonald Publishers, Midlothian, Scotland, in 1982. The volume comprises 208 pages, including an index, and contains colour plates, black-and-white photographs and line illustrations.
Bound in the original yellow pictorial wrappers with black titles.
An excellent companion to a collection of classic Hardy reels and an appealing record of one of the most distinguished names in British fishing tackle.
The evolution of Hardy's celebrated fly reels can be explored through our own collection, including the Hardy Perfect 3 3/8" and Hardy Uniqua 3 3/8" . Discover further works on classic tackle in our angling literature collection .
