New format edition - A step by step guide to modern shooting etiquette stuffed full of amusing quotes and anecdotes, which will instruct the Gun on how to be the perfect guest out shooting – and hence, how to be asked again.

‘How to be Asked Again: How to be the Perfect Shooting Guest’ by Rosie Nickerson with illustrations by Oliver Preston

‘This book is much more than the title implies and will be invaluable to anyone new to game shooting. It is also pretty useful for the old hands too. The brilliant illustrations by Oliver Preston give the book a life of its own. It's great advice from a real expert.’ Shooting Gazette

‘Stuffed with anecdote, wisdom and wit - lots of that - it is hugely entertaining. For anyone who does feel uncomfortable with the formalities of a driven shoot it is a godsend; read this and you won't put a foot, or a barrel wrong. But even the most experienced shot will find it useful and a pleasure to read... Oliver Preston's cartoons are a delight. There couldn't be a better guide for the newcomer to game shooting.’ BASC, Shooting & Conservation Magazine

The author and illustrator Paul Dady believes that ‘Fishing doesn’t actually clear the mind. It does, however, given the opportunity, tend to clutter it with altogether more agreeable stuff ... usually.’

‘Rod Rage: The Trials of Trouting’ by Paul Dady

This humorous collection of illustrations depicts the trout angler’s anguish and anticipation in pursuit of the ‘gentle art’.

From knots to lucky underwear and appalling hauling to woeful weather, many ‘trouters’ will identify with the scenarios and comments featured in this quirky portrayal.
Contrasting cartoon styles convey the different moods of each scene and are guaranteed to catch the reader’s attention.

Offers valuable guidance to anyone seeking to embrace this aspect of rural life.

‘Free-Range and Flourishing: The Smallholder's Year’ by Allison Lee

New format edition - ‘This is both an informative book and a fun read.’ Sporting Rifle

‘How to be Asked Again: How to be the Perfect Shooting Guest’ by Rosie Nickerson with illustrations by Oliver Preston

The book covers in a logical way what happens, or should happen: from the moment you receive a shooting invitation, to arriving at the shoot, shooting safely and courteously, how to hold your own, how to mark your birds, what never to say and how to tip the keeper. Much of this information comes from almost a hundred interviews with beaters, keepers, flankers, pickers-up, shoot organisers, shoot owners, and grouse moor owning earls and dukes. Hilarious cartoons by Oliver Preston make this a very entertaining book on shooting, the perfect gift for any shooting man or woman, either novice shot or experienced Gun.

Unlike farming, a smallholding doesn’t require acres of land making it a far more accessible option.

‘Free-Range and Flourishing: The Smallholder's Year’ by Allison Lee

Author and smallholder Allison Lee provides hints and advice on growing fruit and vegetables, raising various animals, and encouraging wildlife. Drawing on her own experience she focuses on topics from choosing the right field shelters, fencing and equipment, to caring for donkeys, ponies, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens.
