Jeff Kieny s book celebrates a part of our angling heritage that has been largely unchronicled and it reminds us that not every lure that fooled a fish was conceived in a factory. His book is lavish, visually and intellectually stimulating and a work that will easily stand shoulder to shoulder with the best books produced on vintage fishing tackle. --- Gary Smith Assistant Editor, NFLCC

To say that the author has done both a comprehensive and dramatic job in researching and organizing this volume would have to be, at best, a colossal understatement. To page through the book s more than 700 color photos of vintage folk art lures is like being live, in person in a wonderful museum that showcases early 20th century one-of-a-kind fishing lures

Our complaining can stop now, as Kieny has given us exactly what we have needed for decades; a comprehensive and attractive overview of all things related to folk art luresJeff shows off a veritable smorgasbord of wonderful lures, reproduced in full color and often to exact size. From tiny fly rod lures to massive musky baits, the ingenuity and originality of the artist are on display at all times --- Dr. Todd E.A.
