“Fishing the Film” Update
It’s getting closer! The TOC (Table of Contents) and Index are formatted, and are just awaiting two final proof reads and I can lock in the numbers. Looks like we squeaked it all into 188 pages, with 4 pages left over (for a total of 192). Those other four pages at the end will be filled with some of my illustration “rejects.” There will be a special pre-order offer coming, along with something for those interested in signing up for all 20 books in the series. Stay tuned!
sign me up for the series!!!
Jason,
Just curious as publication draws closer…what prompted you to make “Fishing the Film” to be the first in the series?
Blessings on the project.
Dan
WIll do! ;-) I’ll give you a call….
Dan—I think the reasoning was something along the lines of GB having it mostly outlined and ready to go (and he liked the idea of fishing the film as topic, generally). It also seems a reasonable place to begin, since “film fishing” (dries, emergers, terrestrials, baitfish, whatever is on/in/immediately under the surface) is what so much of the pleasure of fly fishing is about, whether for trout, bass or even tarpon. Might as well start up top and go from there.
We’ll have the full list of proposed books up on our blogs shortly. It should be a pretty nice collection. For those of you who own Presentation (and to a degree, Designing Trout Flies), expect the series to be like that, but stretched out over 1 million words and with more overall detail.
JB if you would like it to be proof read from a British perspective please let me know;)
Andrew—I’d do it, but then I’d have to change color to colour, all the “z” letters to “s,” and anything with “er” at the end to “re.” ;)
We discuss some famous FFing Brits in the text, so that may have to be good enough!
great! looking forward to the special offers :D
