Waterlog by Medlar Press
Whilst
visiting the Newark Flyfishing Show I met up with the guys from Medlar
Press... and I thought I'd gone to heaven!
I absolutely adore books - and if they are angling books even better!
Talk about a kid in a candy shop!
They produce paperbacks, cloth-backed books and of course the ultimate
quality - leather-bound books. Now I've got to say some of their books
aren't cheap - in fact some of the leather-bound books are eye-wateringly
expensive - but they are still excellent value for money. Where else
can you buy an angling book bound in salmon skin? Come to that, where
can you buy a leather-bound angling book? Medlar Press of course!
Chatting to the guys I discovered they had a passion - all the right
words were used - Gill, Garamond, Caslon, deluxe margins, design, typography
- they were just highly skilled compositors using 21st century technology
- and what an excellent mix!
By now you've probably guessed I was impressed to say the least. I've
worked in the print world for 30+ years and these are some of the best
books I've seen. We're talking real quality merchandise here, something
to be proud of - and to pass onto the next generation.
I was given a copy of Waterlog, a quarterly magazine/book - it's difficult
to decide which, but it's a beautifully produced publication whatever
you decide to call it. There are great stories, superb photography and
illustrations and lots of readers' contributions, definitely a quality-time
read that warrants a glass of something warming, a comfy chair and no
interruptions.
Waterlog is available quarterly and by subscription only, and with 100's
pages of quality reading a year from only £27 how can you possibly
lose out. To receive your copies of Waterlog please phone 01948 831072
or E-mail: waterlog@rightsort.com
