Katzen. Ein fröhlicher Ratgeber. Wie man seine Lieblinge erfolgreich verwöhnt.

by Günter Stein

From the 2.4-million-copy bestselling series that defines pastimes from sailing to gardening to computers, Fishing is a comprehensive compilation of angling words and phrases-from hook (an irritating but highly reliable device used to quickly locate one's thumb at the bottom of the tackle box) to line (length of filament stretched between two fishing rods and joined approximately at its midpoint by a pair of linked hooks) to sinker (a lead weight attached to the end of a fishing line to facilitate the safe disposal in deep water of unwanted lures). Plus, learn why chicken is the tuna of the sea, and the true meaning of terms such as rod and reel, fly-tying, trolling, and dribble. Every member of the pier group will bite. Over 522,000 copies in print.

Definitely a good dread! I’d recommend taking this one slow and maybe reading it on a work lunch break! Highly addictive...

This is definitely not the sort of book you can sit down and read straight through - it's best read in increments, perhaps one definition at a time. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, despite the fact that I am not (nor have ever aspired to be) a fisherman. I plan to gift this to a fishing relative of mine.

Cute booklet with funny illustrations and comments, designed like a dictionary.
