useful to anybody collecting old lures,
By Fishndude "cowsgomoo" (Hobart Tasmania Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fishing Lure Collectibles: An Encyclopedia of the Modern Era (Hardcover)
I am very happy with this book and another companion book by the same author. This book is a very useful reference to the range of lures manufactured through recent times. I refer to it all the time when I am buying fishing lures on ebay etc. I can't compare it to other books as these are the only lure collecting books that I own. Great photos too.
