"Mark Everard has added to his already impressive tally of books with his latest release, Britain's Freshwater Fishes. Measuring in at 144 pages featuring 53 species and fully illustrated, it's a full-blown encyclopedia of fishy facts... All in all we are impressed--it's perfect for any angler who wants to know more about fish."--Angler's Mail "It is a beautiful photographic ID guide... Attractively designed and easy to use."--Dan Kinney, Farming Life "This book encourages fish-watching explicitly and also through providing the information to make it fun. I like it a lot."--Mark Avery blog "[ T]his book lives up to the billing: it tells you everything the non-angler could reasonably want to know, concisely and with authority. It is in most respects the concise fish book we have been waiting for."--Peter Marren, British Wildlife "As an in-depth reference book on native fish species, this one's hard to beat. As a comprehensive guide to our native fish species, Britain's Freshwater Fishes is spot on."--CliveBradleyFishing.com "Whether angler or naturalist, this book should be on your bookshelves."--Highland News "[ A]n ideal source of background information for those fly anglers keen to broaden their customary range from time to time and flyfish for coarse fish, or for anyone simply wanting a broader appreciation of our rivers."--Jeffrey Prest, Trout Fisherman "This well illustrated guide features high quality in-the-water or on-the bank photos throughout... Written in an accessible style, the book also contains introductory sections on fish biology, fish habitats and how to identify fishes, plus conservation and legislation."--Wildlife "I was immediately attracted to this book because it has an air of quality about it... This book fills a gap and is highly recommended."--Bryan Sage, Country-Side
