Customer Reviews

Careful! This is a tiny book
Unlike other books in the 'Dummies' series this lacks content! It's a good book but it isn't very long

Disappointing!
As the title of my review suggests, the normally respectable 'For Dummies' range of publications is let down by this slightly amusing yet useless guide to fishing. Totally American....like I said useless. Don't waste your money.

disappointing
This was a very disappointing purchase. I used "search inside" to help me make a decision on buying this book, in this instance it was VERY misleading as the book, which I ultimately ordered, was a miniature hardback. The book I viewed was a more comprehensive version but was tagged on a `search inside'. Misleading/Unlawful who knows but I was very disappointed. If I have to go through all the fine print and look for minute loopholes so as not to buy junk in the future I think I will go elsewhere. Amazon sort yourself out!!!
