NEW BOOK

Post by Steve »

I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book, Antique Fishing Reels. This limited edition is an 8.5" x 11" hardcover book with over 1000 illustrations, and most of the photos are in color. It is available in the ORCA Store.

Questions? Please PM me.

The title of this thread is so understated but I know Steve is not one to toot his own horn. Got my copy and thoroughly enjoy having it as fantastic reference! Photography is top notch. If you haven't already noticed from his Reel News articles, Steve's attention to detail is incredible but the addition of biographical information on the inventors helps us connect to them as real people. Don't sit back and wait too long to get yours!

Jon, I'm really sorry, but I won't be signing books. First of all, they're shrink-wrapped. Second, some arthritis makes it almost impossible for me to write legibly.

I just ordered mine Mr. Pie,
Congratulations on what I know is going to be my new favorite reel book. Are you coming to Lancaster? There's a fridge and a microwave in the room and a grocery store with a frozen food section near by.
Your biggest fan
