OK, here it is. All the catalogs and all the pictures, letters, etc that I found and used for the creation of the first two volumes.



Here is the way the Whitefish Press is offering this book;

Greetings! If you are reading this email, you are one of the special few who purchased the long-sold out Limited Edition of The Chronological History of Penn Reels, 1932-1957 or The Penn Reel Collector's Companion & Price Guide, 1932-1957 by Michael Cacioppo.





One of the perks of purchasing the first two books, is that we are offering a special Limited Edition of the next Penn book in our series — A Documentary History of Penn Reels, 1932-1957 — ONLY to you! And it's the biggest one yet! Yes, the Limited Edition of this 300-page black-and-white volume will ONLY be sold to previous purchasers of the Limited Editions. We will try very hard to match numbers, if you so desire (we will follow up with an email to you about this).

This Hardcover with Dust Jacket will NOT be publicly listed on the web site, the only way you can order is to have a direct link (see below) in this email. LUCKY YOU! LUCKY US! Exciting time to be a Penn collector!

Details about this exciting book can be found here:

To order the very popular Limited Edition Package (one signed and numbered Limited plus a softcover copy) at a big discount, click and order here:

http://www.whitefishpress.com/bookdetail.asp?book=224

Pre-order your copy as we will only be producing as many copies as are ordered by Limited owners. This means we can't take orders after the book ships. We expect delivery in early December 2016 in time for the holidays! For the 3rd straight year, it's a Penn Christmas!

Thank you for your support, and look for a fourth volume in the series (The The Chronological History of Penn Reels, 1958-183) in the near future. Limiteds of this fourth volume again will ONLY be available to purchasers of the first volumes!

Sincerely,

Dr. Todd E.A. Larson, Publisher

In this companion volume to The Chronological History of Penn Reels, 1932-1957 and The Penn Reel Collector's Companion & Price Guide, 1932-1957, the long-awaited A Documentary History of Penn Reels, 1932-1957 contains rare documents and photographs pertaining to Penn history during its first 25 years. It is divided into three sections: Section One, which covers original documents and letters to and from Penn and photos from Penn's first ledger book; Section Two, which contains a complete set of Penn catalogs from this period; and Section Three, a photographic essay of Penn during this era. A must for any Penn collector!

Here, for the first time ever, is a complete set of Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Co. catalogs and other documents and photos pertaining to its first 25 years of history. From the unnumbered Penn flyer for the Model F, to Catalog #1 in 1933 through Catalog #20 in 1957, this volume reproduces every page of every Penn catalog during the years 1932-1957, including rare pocket catalogs. It also includes everything from correspondence between Otto Henze and other tackle makers, to images of the first sales ledgers, to photos of the factory floor. This work will serve as a standard reference for many years, as well as a great companion to the previous two Penn histories in this series. A must for any Penn reel collector, dealer, or historian!

Thanks for making another book for us to learn from.  I love this stuff so I had to buy 2 copies in case I read it too many times the words wear off the page. ;)
Can't wait for their arrival.
Have a happy and healthy holiday, Mike!
