Re: NEW BOOK
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!

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?

Re: NEW BOOK
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.

No problem. Just thought I'd ask. Jon

Re: NEW BOOK
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.
