Hello guys,
Does any of the vendors on the list have a copy of this? Is there a difference between Mr. Clemens first edition and last edition. I have found a first edition.
Thanks in advance,

John,
I'm not sure of the differences between the two editions but I believe the book is out of print and hard to come by these days. There have been a few selling for top dollar on @#$%&. If you've found any edition that's reasonable in price I'd probably jump on it. Randy.

No significant differences in the book. Basic reprint of the original.

I believe Advanced Custom Rodbuilding is the book that had two editions. Custom Rod Thread Art had only one edition and is now out of print and is currently being offed USED for up to $200 on Amazon.com. [www.amazon.com] There was a big discussion here recently and if I remember right, none of the vendors actually had a copy.

Not quite sure why someone would pay $200 for that book?

Nothing to do with me. It's not like a Rodbuilding book which has thousands of copies is going to be a collectors item in the future. I'm sure once this initial buyers frenzy is over, the price will drop way back down.

Is there any way those of us who are not making the show can get ahold of your material/ book you are putting together for the show Billy?
