His promotional emails are hilarious these days...he really should write more.John_Moore wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 11:28 pm It is truly a lovely book with introduction and ending writing's by a certain Mr Barder.
Have you come across the reproduction of the B James leaflet for the 'bird name rods' yet John?
I'm sure someone on here will know more but I have only ever held a Grebe owned by a friend.. the rest I've
never seen in the flesh.
I would have a small wager that David Watson would have included more of the makers
promotional material if it was of the B James standard. Most I've seen are often poorly produced with bad grammar and the rods of course often evolved beyond the initial introduction model with differing furniture and finishes.

Aquaerial - You would have won the wager. During the six month production process there was a time when there were many times the final 8500 words. Specifications and sales blurb from makers catalogues and leaflets were included on most rods. Before going to press these were removed because of inconsistencies, typos, and conflicts between data and the actual rods pictured. Effort was concentrated on the images, which speak for themselves.
