TUNNY: THE RISE AND FALL OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST FISH
Written by Chris Berry.
Stock no. 1326731
Published by The Medlar Press. 1st 2010. Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.

Blue boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos. ISBN: 9781907110030. Very pale page edge browning. Unfortunately there is a tobacco smell to the contents. Dustwrapper is lightly browned at edges.
