Re: Talbot Book For Sale
I got my copy in Frankfort. It's got a lot of info about the Talbot history and photos of some of the great Talbot reels and catalogs. It's another must have book for the serious collector interested in Talbot reels.

Re: Talbot Book For Sale
I can claim I am ahead of Mike as I have ready mine at least twice!! I would recommend this book to any and all reel collectors, not just the Talbot collectors. The over ~ 30-year company history is very interesting. And while the overall number of models over the years is not huge, the variations and uncatalogued versions of reels are truly amazing. Randy did a great job capturing the essence of Wm H Talbot's creative and mechanical talents!

Re: Talbot Book For Sale
I agree with every word Bryce wrote. Many consider Talbot as the greatest reelmaker ever. Randy wrote an article on Talbot decades ago, Jim Brown wrote an article long ago on the companies, and various articles on a few Talbot models have been published. But there has never been such a comprehensive record of both the companies and the reels before. The Talbot reels deserve this, and Randy has done us a great service.
