I'm just about to start reading it, and wondered what everyone thought. Has anyone ever read the book, and does it have any relevance to modern angling?

Nice one, thanks. I'm taking it to read on my French trip in a couple of weeks, although hopefully I'll be too busy reeling in monsters to read all of it.
