{"product_id":"2940045961387","title":"The Gentleman Angler","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gentleman Angler was first published in 1726 and printed for A. Bettesworth, at the Red Lion in Patternoster-Row, London. It was one of the first general books about angling to be released in the 18th century and was very popular at the time. Several later editions of the book were released.\u003cbr\u003eThe Gentleman Angler presents angling as a healthy solution and antedote to the challenges of the then modern world and it is gloriously politically incorrect compared to today's culture. Much of the angling instruction within is still relevant today.\u003cbr\u003eThe book contains the following sections:\u003cbr\u003eThe Preface\u003cbr\u003eThe Gentleman Angler\u003cbr\u003eFishing Equipment\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Instructions for Angling\u003cbr\u003eBait for Fishing\u003cbr\u003eFish Species\u003cbr\u003eThe Angler’s Song\u003cbr\u003eThe Laws of Angling\u003cbr\u003eThe Form of a License\u003cbr\u003eAppendix\u003cbr\u003eAppendix One - The Method of Rock Fishing and Sea Fishing\u003cbr\u003eAppendix Two - Technical Terms and Phrases used by Fair Anglers\u003cbr\u003eAppendix Three - Receipts for Dressing Fish in the best \u0026amp; most fashionable manner\u003cbr\u003eAppendix Four - Improve Poor or Barren Ground, by Turning it into Fish Ponds\u003cbr\u003eThere are a few very poor quality digital versions of this book currently available online none of which are suitable for eReaders such as the Kindle. They are poor scans of the original 1726 1st edition with blurred inages and text not selectable, hence this edited version of the 1726 book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072317210864,"sku":"2940045961387","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045961387_p0.jpg?v=1763983387","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045961387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
