Founded in 1994, the Medlar Press is the UK's leading angling publisher. Our fishing books include some of the classics of angling literature as well many superb contemporary titles. Based in the beautiful countryside of Shropshire, all Medlar books are designed, typeset and printed in the UK using high quality sustainable paper and inks. Whether you are looking for coarse, game, fly or sea fishing books, or books on barbel, pike, carp, trout, sea trout, grayling, mullet or salmon fishing, you are in the right place.

Classic Angling Books
To celebrate 25 years of publishing we have updated and rebound many of our angling classics -
and most of them are now in stock. Remember - you can reserve a copy of any forthcoming
title online and we'll get back to you as soon as it's available.
APRIL 2023 UPDATE
The rivers are slowly fining down and most trees have a few leaves showing so it must be spring! Along with publishing some great new titles this year we are currently updating some of our original books as new editions. All of these are now on the website. Of course you can make orders for Medlar books in the usual ways - directly via this website or by phone, email or post. Royal Mail strikes affecting our deliveries are still possible but posting is currently operating reasonably well. We'll let you know when any more disruptions are due. Overseas postage is still subject to delay and increased charges. Further details can be found on our Ordering page.
