{"product_id":"fishing-from-the-rock-of-james-batty-9781913159344","title":"Fishing from the Rock of the Bay: The Making of a Sea Angler","description":"I hardly remember life without a rod in my hand, writes James Batty in the opening sentence of his autobiography in fishing. When his American wife moved with him to Cornwall, she saw his family photo album and commented that there was hardly a single picture of him in which he wasn't fishing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis witty, wacky account is Jim's tale of his obsession with his hobby of fishing, wherever his work took him around the world, seeking out lemon sharks in the Gambia, Striped Bass in New York and salmon in British Columbia. Jim's genre of writing is a mixture of John Gierach and Bill Bryson: his style is wry, witty and incisive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe end result is an entertaining insight into the mind of a dedicated angler, full of fishing anecdotes, tips and thought-provoking ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Batty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913159345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913159344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Merlin Unwin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.14w x 1.26d","brand":"James Batty","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995373732095,"sku":"9781913159344","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e4b4b9c-2061-4a38-9d9c-686d976ece4e.jpg?v=1683335458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fishing-from-the-rock-of-james-batty-9781913159344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
