Newly published ABU book written by former president Lennart

Post by abu-mania »

Hello all, I would be pleased to tell you that new ABU book was published by former ABU president Mr. Lennart Borgstrom. English version is now available!

This book contains full of history facts, and the memories by Mr. ABU, Lennart Borgstrom. It contains concealed facts to be revealed, and one might shocked to see this. Anyway, those who are interested in should be able to contact to Carina Simpson, LENCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. Publishing division at .

Personally, I was very impressed by this book, and I believe those who cares about old ABU as well as Mitchell, Garcia and so on loves it, and must have one or two at his book shelf, as this is really an interesting book for old time lovers. I will be honored to advertise this book to you. Hope you enjoy it, sharing the information. ABU greetings from Japan Kyo

I made a terrible mistake by mistype "by" to "be" on the title. Moreover, I mistyped "Lennart" as "Leonard". Daaah. :-(

The book is sold at $29 plus shipping from VA. Anyone who are interested in ABU should contact LENCO INTERNATIONAL, INC. Publishing division at . Believe me or not, it`s worth reading this book repeatedly! by ABU-mania from Japan Kyo

Hi Guys,

I recieved my copy a couple of weeks ago. I honestly can't remember the last time that I read a book twice and I've already been through this one three times. The layout is absolutely wonderful! (chronological by subject) It also includes a "cast of characters" so that I can understand who's who. This should appeal not only to those interested in ABU, but the tackle industry as a whole because it explains not only what decisions were made, but why. Anyone interested in management should read it as well. (This is how it's done.)

I just bought a copy for father and I'm certain that he will be as delighted as I. Even mother wants to read it. On top of it all Len was kind enough to write an inscription on the flyleaf!

I'm impressed.

Regards,
Clinton

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I got mine from Len about a year ago.

Definitely a worthwhile read. I don't recall if all my questions were answered, but still learned a lot. Cool anecdotes. Some pics.

A year ago? Why do I get the impression that you can read Swedish?

On the one hand it answered a lot of my questions, on the other I'm thinking up new ones. This is more fun than I've had in a long time!

Clinton

Hi,
Received my copy a few days ago.
Well's here's a book that has impressed me like no other book has done in the last 10 years or so ! My English isn't good enough to express all my feelings on this, but I do want to say one thing :
IF YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET, GET IT NOW !
As from now I'll only discuss ABU, Garcia, Mitchell and Penn (!) with people that have read this book first !

Hi Milt,

Survived the convention, eh? First, this is not a picture book or price guide. If, however, you would like to know why the red reels are red (instead of green) or how the tackle industry became the way it is today I highly recomend it.

I don't think it's sold in stores right now but next month it should become available through Bass Pro's web site. I bought mine through PayPal without any problems. I also bought a copy for father. I was sneaky so he didn't see it coming. You can imagine how hard it is to surprise father!

Just look at the top of this thread and contact Corina.

Regards,
Clinton
