Product Review

This volume is the fifth and final in a colorful, historical, series by author Russell E. Lewis. Large, crisp photos, realized values, and company histories are once again components of this essential encyclopedia for collectors. It continues the author's tradition of discussing companies others have forgotten or offering more details on companies already known. Hot collectible lures from the modern era are discussed and any corrections or additions to earlier volumes are included. Expanded manufacturer information and new companies are highlights of the book, and the index is once again a useful component. A selected tour of 1972 to 1987 is a special chapter of the book, as well as full details on 1986: A Year in Review. Heddon lures from 1972 to 1987 are given coverage, as are modern fish decoy carvers. Nearly 1,500 photos and 2,000 lure illustrations, including dozens of lure color charts never before published, make this a perfect companion to the author's other books. 2007 values.
