This book was a long time in coming and I'm so happy it's available.



Really a cool intro to Kentucky reels and contains histories and photos of every known Kentucky Reel maker.

Good point. I would note that the book is an introduction to Kentucky reel makers and contains photos from all the Kentucky reel makers in Howard Fortune's collection. So if Howard missed them in his 30 years of collecting, they must be rare indeed!

Good point
I wasn't trying to make a point, Todd. I assumed "every known" meant just that and that we would finally get to see some of those "rare indeed" pieces.
