The Fishing Lure Collector's Bible - R. L. Streater,
By J. D. Lantz (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fishing Lure Collector's Bible: The Most Comprehensive Antique Fishing Lure Identification & Value Guide Available (Paperback)
I was disappointed. To begin, this book is a very difficult read. The 'Color Gallery' is beautiful but the picture captions give little or no information and refer the reader to the 'Value Guide'. Here is the problem. The 'Guide' appears to be nothing more than a collection of 400+ pages of poor b&w photocopies of old magazine ads! The copy consists of small, hard to read newsprint; tiny, type-written 'values'; hand-lettered, cartoonish descriptions and comments and some 'hand-drawn' depictions of various lures. The rest of the lure pictures range from coarse 'line-drawings', to 'blotchy', to totally black silhouettes. All told, it is difficult to judge the content due to the lack of detail, which should be the priority here. Perhaps I have been spoiled. My first book on this subject was Carl F. Luckey's "Old Fishing Lures & Tackle", a totally classy and professionally done work. It is everything the 'Collector's Bible' is not. Mr. Luckey's publication is done, and done well. Mr. Streater's publication looks like a second or third draft, not yet ready to go to the printer.

First In Fishing Lure Collecting Information,
By Salmonmaster (Olympic Mountains) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fishing Lure Collector's Bible: The Most Comprehensive Antique Fishing Lure Identification & Value Guide Available (Paperback)
The "Bible" was the first book that I knew of, that gave collector's information on fishing Lure collecting. Originally the bible came in a three ring binder. This book, while not in the same format of the current books, carries forth the original ideas and information of the author and gives the readers some idea of how much work went into being the first book on collecting. This book is still valid today with information on obscure manufacture's that are not listed in some of the other reference's. Always a good read, but not to be confused with the coffee table reference books that are also available.
