After reading randyflycaster's post and watching the link he offerred to the video of "In The Footsteps of Isaak Walton" I determined it was time for me to finally read The Complete Angler. So I checked with my local library and they didn't have it on their shelves. They told me they could get it transferred from another local library but that they would charge me $3.00 for the transfer. I know it's only $3, but you can buy the book for $7.50 from B&N and keep it. Just a little disappointed.
