Anyone know where I can find a copy of power hand baitcasting by Rich Forhan?

I bought mine from the man himself, he used to have advertisements in RodMaker for his book. Used to have a website www.revolverrods.com, but I don't think it's still up. He was in Oroville, CA at the time, may be in the phonebook.
There are a bunch of articles by Rich in RodMaker about his rods.

It has been out of print for several years. A copy sometimes turns up on Amazon, used. I spent a few months keeping daily track here: [www.alibris.com] , and finally found a good condition used copy for not very much money. Alibris seems to do well in turning up out of print books. It may require a week or a month, but I suggest bookmarking it and check in every so often.

I contacted Rich about a year ago and asked if copies were still available. He sent an autographed hard cover copy a week later.

Steven - send money. check will do, $20 for paperback (8 left), $27 for hardback(9 left). I'm gone as much as I'm home - but I will ship when home. (wife of 45 years "made me an offer I couldn't refuse" for unlimited world travel - what could I do? ). 22 Monarch Ct. Oroville, CA. 95966

For the very frugal - subscribe to RodMaker mag., attend the Custom Rod Expo reception, I'm sending Tom all the remaining copies to be given away there. One per year to last as long as I do. I also have 60 plus rods I've built for Bass fishing. I'm sending Tom 2 or more each year to be given away at the reception. One per year - when I croak - all remaining rods will go to my addicted (bass fishing & rod building) son-in-law. Can't guess who was the enabler there!
