No Need To Lie leather edition

   


No Need To Lie
was written as result of an ongoing campaign waged by Peter Thomas.  RSW wrote to share his ideas and knowledge, to provoke discussion and try to help others catch fish, rather than write about how and what he caught.  Pete was insistent though that readers would be interested to hear some accounts of Richard’s ‘best’ catches, and so it is thanks to him that the original book was released in 1964.

Reg Cooke’s wonderful illustrations accompany the ‘pulse-stirring nature of these big-fish catches’ and have been painstakingly restored.

Illustrations from No Need To Lie
 

Jack Thorndike, then editor of the Angling Times wrote in his foreword:

“Walker is a man of deeds as well as words and the title of this book, No Need To Lie, could not have been more aptly chosen. His many angling feats as a captor of big fish are well known. All have been reported in print and the stories and photographs have thrilled thousands of Angling Times readers.

That is one reason why this book is bound to be a best seller.
Another mark of its greatness is the delightful work of artist and angler Reg Cooke.

Reg Cooke’s angling knowledge has stood him in good stead in his execution of some dramatic black and white drawings and beautiful colour illustrations. Every chapter is livened by his work, which makes No Need To Lie the most lavishly illustrated of all recent angling publications.

Richard Walker’s graphic writings and Reg Cooke’s life-like illustrations have combined in harmony to produce a book every dedicated angler will want to possess”.
