Stoner, Lew; Joe Beelart (Editor): The Lew Stoner Winston Letters; 1936702460 / 9781936702466, New Book
2012 The Whitefish Press; Limited Edition,
As New 8vo Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
(Description) One of a Limited Edition of 125 Numbered copies. 7 x 5, small 8vo desktop sized. ***(Synopsis) For the first time ever, noted bamboo rod historian Joe Beelart brings us a compilation of letters from Lew Stoner. Dating from 1940 to the mid-1950s, these letters give us tremendous insight into the mind of a rodmaking genius. They cover topics ranging from surf casting to fly fishing to rodmaking, with tangents into everything from tournament casting to steelhead fishing. In addition to the letters, there are four appendices: the first containing letters to the editor Stoner wrote to the Oakland Tribune; the second reprinting A.J. McClane's take on Stoner and Winston rods; a third reproducing an early history of Winston by Fred Maly; and a final one containing the text of a detailed article on Marvin Hedge and Lew Stoner from the 1930s. The entire book is richly footnoted by Joe Beelart to help modern readers place the many names and places - ranging from Polly Rosborough to Jason Lucas to Ted Trueblood - into historical context. For anyone interested in Winston history, this is a must read. To anyone who loves West Coast fishing and rod history, it is equally indispensable. And of course, if you love bamboo fly rods and their history and lore, you will not want to miss this book., AB01161.
