In this first volume in the series Collecting Fishing Tackle Ephemera, the authors (drawing upon over nine combined decades of research on fishing tackle and history) have written a primer on collecting and evaluating angling letterheads, billheads, and receipts.

In addition to showing over 100 of the rarest and most beautiful examples, this book has a concise history, a detailed section on collecting, and tips on establishing value. Also includes an appendix with a list of over 1000 known companies that utilized angling letterheads. Even if you don't collect, this is a trip down memory lane that offers a glimpse of angling history that you simply can't find anywhere else.
