At the Water’s Edge with Martin James

From tiddlers to tarpon, from the Avon to the Amazon, Martin James’s latest book takes the reader on an exciting angling and travel experience to vastly different destinations. Feel the heat of the Caribbean sun on your back and the sand between your toes as you accompany Martin on a bone-fishing expedition. Shiver on the bank of the River Ribble as you fish for barbel in the early morning mist.

Martin James’s book is more than just about fishing: it is a travelogue, a country file, a biography and a lot more—there is a section entitled ‘Bits and Pieces’ in which a fascinating range of topics are covered. The book, which is printed on high quality, semi-glossy paper, is illustrated in the text with pictures which capture scenes that Martin and the various contributors have written about, including black and white images from the 1960s and 70s of the mysterious Redmire Pool where Richard Walker caught his then record 44lb carp, and of angler, Eddie Price, sitting on a bench by the dam wall.

There are contributions from Gary Newman, Len Arbery,Trevor
Bross, Mick Holgate, Martin Salisbury, Phil Chun, Will Carter and Scott Richmond

Martin has achieved so much in his life despite being an MS sufferer from the age of forty, and a diabetic. His first book ‘Up Against It’ covered his struggle to be a ‘normal’ angler. His life has touched many people and his charity work has helped the lot of others; he has rightfully earned the recognition of his peers in the angling world.

‘At the Water’s Edge with Martin James’ is dedicated to those two great anglers: Richard Stuart Walker and Bernard Venables. A donation from every copy sold is being made to the "ABF The Soldiers' Charity" and there will also be 250 signed and numbered copies. The release date has been chosen to coincide with the author’s seventy-third birthday.

At The Waters Edge will contain 368 pages with over 200 photographs priced at £25-00 with 250 signed and numbered editions in slip case at £40-00 each. All leather bound signed and numbered editions at £180-00 plus postage and packing have been sold
