The PENN FISHING REEL Book Is Off to PRESS!!!!

Post by Teal »

After four years ... we have released the Kraken! The long-awaited, eagerly anticipated history of Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Co. by ORCA's own Michael Cacioppo has gone to press and we are now taking pre-orders on the very Limited Edition hardcover with dust jacket. The hardcover is limited to just 100 signed and numbered copies, don't miss out on this one. Those who missed the Mitchell 300 Limited Edition saw the prices go ballistic when a very few copies hit the resale market; we anticipate the demand to far outstrip the limited numbers on this book. Click the link at the bottom to learn more and pre-order your copy of this hugely anticipated book!

More information (and pre-order info) can be found here:

http://www.whitefishpress.com/newreleases.asp

Congratulations to Mike on finishing this part of the Penn journey! The book is flat out incredible, and I hope all ORCA members enjoy it!

-- Dr. Todd

They said it couldn't be done... But, with the help of many people, some of them no longer with us, we did it.

Thank You All :!: :!:

That's really a courageous undertaking and congratulations are certainly in order. It's people like yourself, Mike, who make all this possible. It's doubtful ORCA would even exist without the extraordinary efforts by you and so many others. I've never been a collector of or had a whole lot of interest in Penn reels, but that could very well change. I pre-ordered yesterday. Awesome work!

Finally pre-ordered mine! Better late then never! Picked up another one of Bad Bobs that I don't have as well. Now, are these limited edition, hard cover, pre-ordered books already numbered and signed?

Just received my limited edition Penn Reels book package with the numbered, signed limited edition hardcover and the softcover edition and they are fantastic! Well researched and written, organized and comprehensive with sharp color and b/w photos. Especially like the catalog information - didn't realize that I have the first magazine style catalog #6. Will be a great reference … Congratulations Mike and Dr. Todd on a wonderful publication!

WOW!! What an absolute wealth of information. Likely not "destined" to be a classic, as it already is. Great job, Mike. Congratulations and thank you.
