Medlar Press UK advises this morning, that the book is being delivered to them on coming friday, and will be shipped out the first days of next week .
For those of you going to the Redditch Tackle Show the coming weekend - it should be possible to pick up a copy (lucky devils  ) !

Just finished reading the first 100+ pages and the Aerial section and it will make a welcome addition to our knowledge of J.W. Young.

How much of the book is devoted to fly reels vs spinning reels and other articles? Just curious. Thanks

Anybody in the US who is on the "reserved" list heard from Medlar or the US distributor lately?
You folks who attended the Redditch show and got the signatures are very fortunate folks

The "news" from last week was - confirmed by the folks who attended the Redditch Tackle Show in the UK - that from monday this week Medlar would
start sending them out - and I am in Scandinavia (just around the corner from the UK) and haven't seen my copy yet either. However, a good indication is -
that Medlar have drawn the amount from my Credit Card - so who knows - it might be in the mailbox today....................?

Hi all, thought you might like to know that I spoke with Medlar yesterday (Tues 19th May) and was informed that all the books signed have been posted out. You
should be receiving them soonest.
As I have said many times before, I hope the book lives up to your expectations! I am always interested to carry on gaining information about the company and their reels so if you pick up anything that you think I may be interested in please let me know. I would love to add a section on the American/Canadian (etc) Youngs reels. Regards from over-the-pond Rupe |

Rupe -
Thank You for following through with this massive undertaking ! There are going to be a lot of guys/gals in a chair reading your new book instead of being on the water in the coming days/weeks 
Best Regards, Mark B Something to consider: Be willing to share photos, information and the knowledge you have about your collection with anyone that has an interest in learning...........also share your knowledge to answer questions that others may have about items in their collections.........doing this will make you feel good and benefits this community ..................after all, what good is having knowledge that isn't shared.

Rupe,
Look forward to seeing and reading your book. Thank you for such a contribution. I contacted Medlar Press this morning as I have had no follow up email from them regarding availability or shipping. Hope to hear back soon. Dennis |
