Generalwar, I must have read over 500 books on hunting and fishing, maybe loads more, since I was about 9 years old. In the 36 years since then there is only 1 book I stopped reading after about page 50 (though I tried desperately hard). I gave up since it was such egotistical, "I am God" prose I couldn't hack it. "Death and Double rifles" by Sullivan. I have been told that if you meet him in the flesh he is not a bad chap and admits he portrays himself like an ars* to sell his products. Well, each to his own. If anyone wants said book they can have it for free if they pay postage, it doesn't deserve space in my library. rgds, Mike Bailey

p.s. just finishing "Hunter" by JA Hunter, great read, can't understand how I never saw it before
