Science communication: Channel 4 programme support booklets

These covers illustrate three titles from many designed by Richard Reeve for Channel 4 Television (1995-2002). Mostly in booklet format, they were published by C4 to enhance the educational value of its programming and produced by Broadcasting Support Services (BSS). Richard’s background in science (Physics first degree and later a Diploma in Science Communication) led to him designing many titles for Equinox and other C4 popular science and documentary programmes.

Jim Wynn was a river keeper on the River Wharfe in the Yorkshire Dales for many years until his death in 1974. Part One of this book introduces Jim Wynn and documents his unique collection of 83 fly patterns. He recorded these in two note­books which came to light in 1992. Each  pattern was specially tied and photographed to illustrate the book. Part Two explores the context of the Wharfedale landscape and fly-fishing traditions and is illustrated with photos of the Wharfe taken along its 60-mile course by the author.
