Old but good
I was at the local library and came across the book Striped Bass Fishing by Frank Woolner and Henry Lyman I have seen other posts about the book, but never came across it. Even though it was written a while ago, it seems to be a classic talking about the history of striped bass,older tackle, bass stands,eels, rigging, tins, and plugs. I have read quite a few other striper books, and really enjoyed reading this one.

IMHO.. best book ever written on the subject... I have an original hard bound copy that My father gave me in the early 70's and the new revised edition which is a paper back.. |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

It's a great book, picked it up a few years back, the pics are great.
Interesting to read about the times back then and how they handled fish and gaffed everything. Different times

I have two copies, the original 1954 edition and a much later second edition. They are both great, but the pictures in the first edition are way better.

Based on this thread I went on line and found a hardbound copy 1954 edition for $10 and ordered it. Hope I get what I hope I'm getting. 
Meanwhile it's way cheaper that what Jerry Sylvester's book brings... |

I snagged Sylvester and 4 or 5 other old classics for $5 on Ebay. I loaned Sylvester out, thanks for reminding me I need to get it back.
