Looking for a book - Mr. Forhan's Powerhand Baitcasting

I am looking for Mr. Richard Forhan's book, Powerhand Baitcasting. Does anyone know where I can find this book or does anyone have a copy they would like to sell? I've been looking for it for a while, but haven't had any luck.

Thanks,

Jeremy Reed

They went up a bit over the last 14 years. Still most of the book is just as relevant as it was at publication.

Yes they have - including most commercial rod companies finally embracing and selling the concepts printed in Rich's book.

Just found a copy on for $25, so I ordered it. It has pencil highlighting and is autographed. I'm looking forward to reading this jewel.
