He produced the first volume of \u003ci\u003eThe Domesday Book of Giant Salmon\u003c\/i\u003e in 2007 which immediately became a classic of angling history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a result of the first volume's publication yet more extraordinary salmon catches have come to light. In this new second volume Buller collects the tales of capture of yet more Atlantic salmon over 50lb caught in Europe and North America including those caught on the fly by rod or by other means. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach capture is carefully researched and examined for veracity and confusions dismembered. All the case histories feature original photographs where available of the catches their locations the fishermen and irreplaceable artefacts; along with snippets of fascinating background information. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch of the book is a testament to a world that has almost disappeared - of great catches and huge fish taken on legendary rivers: the Grand Cascapedia Restigouche Tay Alten Namsen and Vosso in their heyday between 1880 and 1930. It is a work of loving dedication and a deserving tribute to the king of fish which will fascinate anglers of every persuasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Domesday Book of Giant Salmon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'An utterly absorbing book full of relentless imagination stories excitement and great white hunter photographs it is a \"must read\" for every salmon-fisher - this book is a masterpiece.' \u003ci\u003eTrout and Salmon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Years in the making this is a fisherman's treasury the definitive collection of every recorded landing of a giant Atlantic salmon and the stories of their capture whether on the fly or by other means.' \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Remarkable ... a wealth of wonderful stories and pictures.' \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'An anecdotal delight.' \u003ci\u003eSunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'This is not only the factual Wisden of salmon angling ... but also the ultimate album of the sport.' \u003ci\u003eIrish Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If you're a salmon fisherman it's a must\" Ian Botham\u003ci\u003e The Times \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786496864435,"sku":"9781849013871","price":2079.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477290889781849013871.jpg?v=1762803202","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-domesday-book-of-giant-salmon-volume-ii","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
