From wickedly funny to sweetly poignant, these humorous essays explore how an obsession with fly-fishing affects a person's romantic relationships. The contributors muse upon strange fishing lore, the follies of human nature, and whether to go or stay home when one's partner is crazy for time on the water. Some of the hilarious situations to be found in these pages include that of a young obstetrician husband whose trout-fishing weekends in the Catskills take precedence over delivering babies; a wife who comes close to torching all the fly rods, chicken necks, and fishing books right in the front yard; and a school librarian who wakes up in a soaked sleeping bag when her boyfriend takes her backpacking for brook trout.

To bring the sweeping story of the Gettysburg Campaign to life, talented contemporary photographers—some dressed in period-authentic uniforms—participated in 150th Civil War reenactment events across the country. The magic of modern digital photography is skillfully combined with rare 1860s personal portraits of soldiers, along with historic photos of the gruesome aftermath of this gigantic 19th century battle. The visual approach is fresh and unprecedented yet the voices from the battle are the heart of this big book. Thousands of pages of original letters, journals and diaries were combed from dozens of historic collections to create a remarkable eyewitness narrative. Here is the soldiers’ story of Gettysburg—in their own words. The lavish production offers a stunning new perspective on the most famous battle of the American Civil War.

Each of these stories is extraordinary and engaging. Rounding out this second collection of full and unvarnished conversations with these accomplished turkey hunters different from the first collection is the complimentary CD audio recording that comes with each book. The CD was made at a noted professional recording studio called Postal Recording in Indianapolis, where author Tom Pero sat down with Doc Weddle and Dave Owens, who flew up from Georgia for the special session. The 80-minute CD is not for sale—it is available only for free with the book.
