Berners, Juliana (Dame) – An Older Form of the Treatyse of Fysshynge Wyth an Angle – 1883, W. Satchell, 1 of 400 copies. Original blue paper wrapper with edge chipping. This edition was prepared for presentation to Members of the English Dialect Society.

A fly fisherman throughout his life, Robert Blockoff had been fascinated by the sport from a young age. By extension in the 1970's his attention turned to collecting angling books. This and 97 other lots represent this pursuit. His collection is comprised of both American and English titles with a focus on salmon fishing, having taken a significant turn when he purchased Jones' Guide to Norway from the important G-Albert Petit Collection. Further early titles soon followed. Lang's is pleased to offer the Blockoff Angling Library.
