Very Profound....Fishing is a rich metaphor!,
By Steve Nakamoto "The Friendly Voice of the... (Huntington Beach, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fishermans Guide to Life: Nine Timeless Priciples Based on the Lessons of Fishing (Book of Wisdom) (Paperback)
This book was one of the key resources for writing my book (about the connection between fishing and love). I've read some of Mr. Freeman's other books and I think this one is the best. While it is only a quotation book, it can really be a delight for the thoughtful person who likes to go fishing. The quotations from Emerson, Thoreau, Shakespeare, Disraeli, Keller and the like are indicative of the value of fishing as a metaphor for life. I think this book especially with its low price would make a great gift for any fisherman out there. "Men go fishing their whole lives without knowing it is not the fish they are after." Thoreau

Disappointed,

I was very disappointed when I received this book. I knew it was out of print and the one I was ordering was used, but by the description I certainly could not tell that the book was written in....big blue inscription to someone's dad inside the front cover. I ordered this as a gift for someone who had seen a copy in a cabin and loved it. Buyer beware. To me, sellers should note a book in written. A little shelf wear is to be expected but very good condition or the like shouldn't be written in in bold blue pen in my opinion. Guess I should have asked. The book itself is a delight.

This review is from: Fishermans Guide to Life: Nine Timeless Priciples Based on the Lessons of Fishing (Book of Wisdom) (Paperback)
I bought this book while on vacation for a long time friend. This friend was like a brother to me. I read it and it was as if it was written with him in mind. Sadly, he was a New York City firefighter, and was killed on 9/11/01 at the WTC. I never got a chance to give it to him. I ended up giving it to his brother at his funeral. If you know a serious fisherman, get them this book.
