New Mitchell Book - Rolands Babulis et Bernard Caminade

Post by caminade »

My name is Bernard Caminade
Those who know my book, (Le Grand Livre des Moulinets Français) know that I am not a specialist in Mitchell. I devote 11 pages out of the 270 of the book to it.
The content of these pages owes a lot to French collectors specializing in Mitchell.
My main contribution consists in the compilation of production lists held by hand by Emile Pugeot. I come back to what I was able to learn later.
I must admit having a passion for creating a book on a collector's subject and ensuring its promotion.
I immediately followed up on Rolands Babulis's suggestion to edit and distribute its book (in English). It took all my passion to complete the business! Nothing is ever perfect, and no book fully satisfies its creator.
However, I think I can safely say that it cannot be absent from the libraries of Mitchell enthusiasts.
It is essential in terms of its content and here it is involved in the controversy over the date of birth of the Mitchell 300.
Ask me more...

Hi Brian
The price of the book is (80+10) 90 €.
I send the book as an International priority letter with tracking. (usualy less than 10 days)
You just have to send a payment with the delivery address on my paypal account, use the contact on the right hand bar.

Bernard-

Thank you for writing this note to the collectors of Mitchell reels. Although I have a few Mitchells they are not where I concentrate my collection. Nonetheless, if the book is as good as your Collectible French fishing reels..then it will be a "Must have" for those that collect the French manufacturers.
Bernard has also written a book on French fishing reels (in English see picture) which I suggested Bernard write as all of his previous efforts were in French (not my first language....hahaha). Please support him by purchasing the "Illustrated Quotation Book of Collectible French Fishing reels" by Bernard Caminade if you have any desire to collect French reels.

I really applaud your efforts Bernard. There is just not enough information on the French fishing reels and your books have guided my efforts ....considerably. Well done, Bernard. Well done!!

Regards,

Steve

Thank you Steve for this very pleasant message which allows me to remind you of my availability to answer my best to questions relating to reels "made in France".
Sincerely yours and the members of ORCA.

Bonjour Bernard, I have several of your books to aid me in my search for interesting French made fishing tackle. One of the things that interest me is the number of early fixed spool reels stamped: "Made in France" rather than something in the French language. Were these reels primarily made for the English and American markets?
