This review is from: Colorado Classic Cane: A History of the Colorado Bamboo Rod Makers (Paperback)

This is the single and most complete source of information reference book for the collector of Granger, Phillipson, Arend, Clark, DeBell, South Creek bamboo fly rods. For the Granger and Phillipson collector, it is loaded with information, catalog info, history, photos and illustrations all packed in an 8.5" x 11" book with 168 pages.

All other reference books such as Keane (4-6 pages), Campbell (5-10 pages) surprisingly has little valuable information so if you are a collector of Colorado made bamboo fly rods, this is the book that you will need to own.

There was only about 180 hard cover copies of this book ever printed so they are EXTREMELY RARE. There was only about 1,800 of the soft cover books ever printed making this one of the most scarce bamboo fly rod books. The author Michael Sinclair and his co-author Dick Spurr wrote this excellent reference book. Dick Spurr was also the publisher who passed away a few years ago and the business was shut down so it is unlikely this book will ever be reprinted.
