Ice Fishing Spears, by Marcel Salive

 

 

Ice Fishing Spears, by Marcel Salive. 300 Pages. Hardbound. Looking back at the history of collecting in the last twenty or thirty years, there is one very obvious truth: Almost without exception, each area of collecting has within it a solitary individual whose personal passion for the subject has generated infectious enthusiasm among others. Through research and writing, as well as personal persuasion, that person has been responsible for opening the eyes of others to the object of his enthusiasm. In the fascinating area of fishing spears, that individual is Marcel Salive. In this ground breaking work, Salive has chronicled every aspect of this obscure area including the history, regional differences, uses and even information about how to display the spears. A nicely illustrated and well documented work. The definitive reference.
