Mark Crouse's book

Mark's new book was available at the recent International Custom Rod Building Exposition at High Point. I wasn't able to make it but Mark was kind enough to sell me a copy himself. I must say if you want a highly detailed explanation of every step in the process of building a themed custom rod this book is a must have.

I've read through it three of four times now and each time I've picked up different details that I can use on my upcoming builds. Lots of photos and illustrations to go along with the text.

Nice job Mark!!

Thanks,
Chad Huderle

My understanding is that it will be available soon through Mud Hole. I'm sure if you contact Mark he'd be happy to get one to you.

Thanks,

Bill,

Will Mark have additional copies on Saturday?
Since I'm out of your will, I might as well learn right and stand on my own.

Mark,

Please charge Joe Azar at least double on Saturday. I think he is trying to knock me off. But, I`m wise to his plan.

Thanks,
