Was this published in Australia Barry?
I am getting the run around with my book. "The ABU Legacy"
I submitted the document 12 months ago and it is not due till Summer 2011 USA
Getting impatient and I fee I could add so much more now too.

Fantastic books Barry, thank you for posting them up. Clap

I first saw "Angling in Australia it's Histories and writings" in a photo you sent me last year, the title was enough to get my interest and I found a copy to read which I highly reccomend to anyone with an interest in angling.

I should add that my copy is neither leather bound, or signed! Wow that's special! StarStarStarStarStar


Cheers, Tony

For the love of Fishing Lures.

I was lucky enough to be at AFN while the Saltwater Gamefishes book was being made and the effort and research that went into it was staggering. The leather bound books are almost priceless IMO.
 
Bob was such a nice fella while doing this book and travelled to AFN a few times at critical stages to proof, edit and alter images. It is a work of art in itself. I've read it from cover to cover for work but never got one in the flesh - stupid stupid man!
 
Great references and history.
Painted sticks with hooks sure, but they are oh soooo nice!
