Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I thought so Dan, I talk to him through email now and again and I was pretty certain he had a border. Thanks Dan for confirming that! Quote Link to post
DogMan85 722 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've got the book, it's hardly controversial and very tame. I've read more graphic erotic thrillers, still it has badger and digging in the title so everyone who reads it should be murdered on the spot.... ?? 2 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I don't think it's controversial either. It's just a down to earth book about how Badger Digging was carried out humanely and decently with no frills, despite what the Antis and suchlike try to have us believe. 7 Quote Link to post
chilli 381 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 The version I have has no print date in RH Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 That's a 1st Edition then mate. (I think) Quote Link to post
Waz 4,274 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I know mines a first, as their wasnt a second till years later! I like the mans writing, not pretentious, nor condescending (that means talking down to or patronizing ) & leaves the cliches well alone in general. 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm pretty certain there was a re-print the same year such was the books popularity Waz. I remember there being a similar thread on the Patterdale BBS site a few years back. Quote Link to post
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 The scarce first edition has on the title page verso, "Fieldfare 1985, Printed by Glenside Printing, Wattstown, Porth, Miid Glamorgan, South Wales. Re-printed in 2005 and 2016 though stating on the original publication date "Fieldfare 1985" with no mention of a printer! Quote Link to post
MOLE265 792 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) This is the one i have with fieldfare etc written inside So the one I have is a first edition is that correct haiddheliwr. Edited February 21, 2017 by MOLE265 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,477 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Same here, Fieldfare 1985 Quote Link to post
Aeron 43 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 The first edition does not have a date printed on. 1 Quote Link to post
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes they are both first editions lads Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Like Aeron says, Im pretty certain the 1st Ed has no date. Quote Link to post
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Google "Badger baiting with terriers" scroll down to the one "Angle books has for sale" press the additional information and it is there. If the printer is there dillydog the same as moles picture it is a 1st edition mate! Quote Link to post
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 F**k should have said"Badger Digging with Terriers" sorry lads slip of the tongue. Cheers Mole Quote Link to post
