the lovely read

I began reading this today and found at least a half dozen relevant blurbs or quotes worthy of citing here.

as I delved further into the book ? maybe less. damned interesting reading nonetheless.

one thing I think we all need to bear in mind is that what we're doing is building a fishing pole. regardless of the various nuances we bring to the pole. it's a tool meant to catch fish above and beyond anything else.

I will perhaps supplement this thread w/ some of the quips I fould poignant, assuming there's interest. might be tough since I can't underline or dogear anything, but the ones I liked were in the forward by brackett and the preface by howell ( the author).

It's a good book.
Quote away!
You are correct...dog erring, underlining, etc, will result in a horrible fate for you.

That's a book that ranks high on my "God I wish I could afford it" list, along with Colorado Cane and the Dickerson book. Any chance you'd be willing to send your copy to my printing connection in China? Can get you a deal on 100 copies for less than $5/each

sure you will I'll believe it when I see it.

if you'd read them they wouldn't be so dusty.

and I sure didn't take much from the book but I'll still get around to posting some of those opening statements I liked. by brackett and howells. just too much typing right now. I've been busy.
