4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent color photos and descriptions.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing Lure Collectibles: An Identification and Value Guide to the Most Collectible Antique Fishing Lure (Hardcover)
This was the first book I purchased on Fishing tackle collecting when I first started, and found the color photos and descriptions a tremendous help. The only draw-back I found was that this book only covers the "most collectible" lures. I still refer to it from time to time in identifying various lures. It goes hand-in-hand with my Antique Fishing Lures and Tackle by Carl Luckey. An excellent addition to anyone's collection.

This book is HARD to beat,
By OLDLURES@AOL.COM "Gabby - Antique Lure Collector" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fishing Lure Collectibles, Vol. 1: An Identification and Value Guide to the Most Collectible Antique Fishing Lures (Fishing Lure Collectibles, 2nd Ed) (Hardcover)
We are generally disappointed in sequels but this 2nd edition IS AN EXCEPTION. The hobby's rarest and unusual Lures are pictured in vivid color with a short history. Set this one on your coffee table and your guests are instantly "hooked". If you are a collector or simply enjoy angling history, this one is definitly a "MUST HAVE"...

VERY INTERESTING BOOK,
By charles p. gano (QUAD CITIES U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fishing Lure Collectibles: An Identification and Value Guide to the Most Collectible Antique Fishing Lure (Hardcover)
UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS BOOK SOME FAMILY AND FRIENDS DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND MY INTREST IN COLLECTING LURES, NOW I HAVE THIS BOOK ON MY COFFEE TABLE AND WHEN THEY PICK IT UP AND START LOOKING AT ALL THE INTERESTING OLD LURES THEY CAN'T PUT IT DOWN AND START ASKING ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS AND GO AWAY WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS FASCINATING HOBBY.
