Author Ed Jaworowski explores the question and the subject in all its variety, complexity and subtlety.... Review: "....I took an introductory class on fly fishing with my father whom I had talked into learning the sport. Ed Jaworowski was the teacher. I can say first hand that he can cast a fly line an incredible distance -- and he can teach how. His book had just come out at the time, though I didn't acquire a copy until recently. After all these years, I can say that this is an excellent book on casting the fly rod in a way that maximizes the efficiency of the rod; I strongly recommend it for anyone interested in saltwater fly fishing in particular.

MacInnis, Craig (editor) REMEMBERING THE GOLDEN JET A Celebration of Bobby Hull
Toronto Stoddart Publishing 2001 0773733116 / 9780773733114 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Colour & b/w photos. 120 pages. Excellent condition. Hardcover is as new, clean & unmarked. Jacket has light scuffing and slight edgewear. Review: "MacInnis Does it Again, The "Remembering..." series transcends normal biography by showcasing top quality journalist's recollections with statistics and insights into the player and their game. Remembering the Golden Jet is no different. From Bobby Hull's early days playing minor hockey, to his watershed defection from the NHL to play for Winnipeg, a move that would rock the hockey world and force the league to re-evaluate it's salary policy forever. For Blackhawks fans this book charts the progress of a player who was feared by goalies everywhere for his blistering slapshot. I have read every Bobby Hull book out there, and nothing comes close in it's insights, in it's recognition of Hull as a true Legend of the game, as this beautifully designed book. I can't recommend it highly enough. " (400? ) ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall

Strachan, Al (editor) and Eric Duhatschek, Red Fisher, Trent Frayne, Rejean Tremblay ONE HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS OF HOCKEY The Chronicles of a Century on Ice with Over 400 Photographs
Key Porter Books Ltd 2000 1552633144 / 9781552633144 First Edition; Second Printing Hardcover Fine in Very Good dust jacket
HC/DJ - fine/VG. Hardcover is clean, tight and unmarked, fine other than a small amount of edge rubbing to edges. Jacket has light scuffing, some edge creasing/curling and a few tiny corner tears. Profusely illustrated in colour & b/w. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 304 pages; Much more than just a game, hockey is a way of life in Canada. Hockey in the 20th century has developed into an obsession for millions of fans. From the rage of the Richard Riots to the joy of the Miracle on Ice, from the original Lord Stanley to the incomparable Wayne Gretzky, 101 Years of Hockey covers it all. Whether it is the endurance of Gordie Howe or the short-lived magic of Mario Lemieux, it is a game that revels in both its artistry and its ferocity. As the Original Six has ballooned to thirty teams, traditional NHL rivalries now collide with issues of free-agency and television revenue, yet the game continues to thrive. The Cold War passions of the 1980 Summit Series gave way to the Canada/USA finals at the World Cup. Written by five of Canada's leading hockey journalists and filled with over 400 spectacular photos, 100 Years of Hockey is a colourful and insightful history of the world's fastest game. General Editor, Al Strachan has compiled a lavishly illustrated, expertly written, coffee table book documenting the history of Canada's game.
