SHUTTERSTOCK

IF NOTHING else, I’ve managed to get quite a bit of reading done already this year, and I would guess that if you’ve been stuck indoors like I have, then you’ve probably devoured a fair few pages too. With that in mind, this issue is very ‘reader heavy’ with not just two in-depth book reviews, but also a feature on the top 20 best ever fish books as advised by a lifelong collector. Even better, I personally know of a few authors who have turned the curse of lockdown into an opportunity, and are scribing away at even more publications to release this year. For those of us who enjoy leafing through literature, there may yet be something good to come out of 2021.
