Re: Pluma, Seda y Acero
Lou, I started corresponding with Preben when I bought his book "Flyleaves"’ This was back in the day when you had to change currency at a bank and send it tucked in a magazine. He added the Spanish book as a gift. I wish I had gotten to know him sooner because he passed away a few months ...

Re: EARLY SCOTTISH ANGLING LITERATURE
Thanks for the tip Lou! I found it on eBay for $6.99 plus free shipping. Some of the best angling authors are Scottish. I own quite a few of their books plus digital versions from InternetArchive.
