[.ca] Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles: Identification & Value ... (ISBN 1574325337)

Realistic Collectables:
A great book for someone not interested in the "old" pricy lures. The lures described and photographed in this book , can still be found and collected without breaking the bank. The many size & colors of Modern Era lures , make them fun and affordable to collect.This is Vol #1 and there is now a Vol # 2 published.

Not bad...but could have been better.:
This book contains lots of information, but could have been so much better. It is basically a show-and-tell of the authors collection.

Finally, A Great Book On Things From 1940 - 1980's:
At last here is a great book on the lures that you can still aford to buy & that many of us now remember fishing with in our younger days. This book gave me lots of new things to look for that I did not even know about & it was a fun read in addition to many great color photo's. This guy is doing volume 2 for August 2002 release which I have on pre-order & can't wait to get my hands on!

Disappointing:
I wound up returning this book as it proved to disappoint me similar to the other reviews. Their were very few prices and there are much better books available.

A Great Book, Finally:
Finally, there is a book devoted to the lures I can find and afford. The other lure books are great, don't get me wrong, I have them all...but Lewis took the chance and did the book no one else wanted to do. All those other authors treat the more modern lures like stepkids, even at shows they are just now getting into the displays and out of the tackle boxes. Of course, now the value will go up on all my lures once everyone buys this book. There aren't as many prices in the book as I had hoped but if you really read the book, he gives you plenty of aid here on what things are worth. The book is interesting too, not just a bunch of photos and catalog pages put together; you can tell this guy realy loves collecting and wants to share his info with us all. A great book I recommend it highly!
