I friend of my family had both parents die with in a coupls months of each other. Their son was devastated. In an effort to rid himself of the pain he got a dumpster and tossed. My sister rescued and circa 1950 fishing encyclopedia and a state of Wisconsin trout regulations book when they were still published in hard cover. In the margins and in the spaces his father had jotted notes, recipes, and logged excursion results. I told him if he ever felt the need the books were his as they would never leave my possesion. Some things are priceless.I love old books and Mags.Robb Howard
