Light My Fire - Ian Chillcott
There is so much more to carp fishing than just catching carp. There's life aswell, and everything it throws at us. In this book Chilly lays bare all that life has thrown at him whilst through it all carp fishing has been the thread that binds it all together. And that thread is made up of many things, especially the friendships that are forged in pursuit of our obsession. Chilly takes us through desperate lows and massive highs but in the end the highs seriously outweigh the lows. We hope you enjoy the ride.

The outstanding lists of accolades that Terry Hearn has already earned bear testimony to this young angler's exceptional carp fishing ability. At the age of just twenty six, he has already achieved the enviable achievement of capturing seven different 40lb+ carp from six of the country's hardest waters, both on and off the busy southern circuit. Terry has earned the respect of many of the country's leading carp anglers, and now he has written his first book that promises to be a revelation to anglers of any experience and one that we are sure will propel him into the annals of modern carp fishing history, along with his own angling icons - Hutchy, McDonald and Maylin.

One Last Cast is Rob's long awaited follow up to the 1993 classic 'Bazil's Bush'.

The book tracks his angling exploits over the last 16 years and as you'd expect from a Rob Maylin book, there's a mixture of carpy tails, humour and a bit of technical advice.
Autobiographical volume by Rob covering a host of famous venues and some of the countries most sought
after specimens, with in depth advice on the edges that have seen Rob catch specimen carp consistently over
forty years on the most testing U.K waters.

This exciting and magnificently presented hardback book contains 432 pages and full colour photographs, edited by former Group Chairman Ken Dallow and former Group Secretary John Abbotts.

The content is a mix of articles and stories selected from ones previously only published in The Carp, the Group`s in house Magazine, together with specially written material by members. Also included is a recent interview with carp fishing icon Peter Springate, a true carp angling craftsman who is still as enthusiastic today as he was thirty years ago when he first joined the B.C.S.G. The final section of the book is devoted to extracts from the Group`s Rotary Letters and is full of technical and informative discussion.

The overall mix of material strikes a balance between technical subjects and carp fishing stories, some amusing and some nostalgic, in an effort to publish a work that carp anglers of all ages and experience will enjoy. It is already on the must read list of many Carp anglers.
