Has anyone bought the new Vince Marinaro book, Split and Glued ? I saw it on the PA Fly Fishing Museum website. Any comments ? Looks like I need one.

One of the best books in all respects I've purchased in the past 10 to 15 years.
Well worth the $$ and an instant classic IMO. Regards, Flyman

Stony Creek Rods, the publisher, but I don't have their website handy.
You should be able to Google them. Good luck! Flyman

Terrific book. Lots of great historical information, interesting photos and way better written than most non-fiction fishing books.

Routta,
Well said, but it's not a well written little book...it's a well written big book with lots of wonderful illustrations by Kim Melema and superb historic photos of Marinaro, Fox, Jimmy Carter, Tom Maxwell, Rick Robbins, Frank Thompson...and a veritable callibaetis hatch of other folks we know and love. Besides that, it's a remarkable book about a remarkable individual...and written by my dear friend, Bill Harms. |

Bob, Are you speaking for all Bohemians in your book review? If so, I'm returning my official Bohemian
membership card (which also doubles as a Guaranteed Czech card) tomorrow...even though I was born in Greenwich Village...(or was it Prague?)
May I recommend a book you might enjoy more? It's titled "Big Jack" by Roswell Greene and Robert Candy. It was a Christmas gift from my parents when I was 12, I think. I found it very readable, not at all boring and the illustrations were of such a caliber that they launched me into the fabulous field of fish-illustration that I enjoy to this very day! Czech it out, my fellow Bohemian! |

Mister Afgantrout How can I locate the book you so highly recommended. Please do you stray from the flock. Us Bohemian's are a dying breed. I did spend
some time in the Village but that was in a previous life. By the way I am tying flies to get one of your wonderful paintings from Larry McCarthy at Beaverkill
Traders. Cannot wait.
Bohemian Bob

Bohemian Bob, Wow! I won't turn in my card if you are angling for one of my art pieces. Is it the big lithograph of the brookie w/lily pads? If so, take
a look at the announcement about the E. W. Edwards book by our own Pat Garner at the top of this Book Talk section. Also, do you have McCarthey's e-mail?

Well, I'm a Bohemian Bob, too (tho not the famous one, supra
), and I really liked the book.

Bob S,
Perhaps we should form a splitter group..."Bohemians for Bill". Harms has been my friend for ....thirty years or so. I wrote the story about him, his rods and his role as faithful apostle to Marinaro in Art of Angling Journal a few years back. Any way, as I said in the first post of this thread, it's a wonderful read and if one wants to dismiss an angling icon because he may be a curmudgeon at heart, the field of icons would be drastically narrowed for you, gentle reader. gosh, it is bedtime!

Midwest Fly Fishing magazine/March has a review of "Split and Glued" by Kathy Scott, who does the book justice.
