Yeah, it looks like I got TONS to learn.. But you are right.. Each author will bring out something the others didn't etc.. Or explain things that you can understand better than another author might be able to etc.... Good think I am an Avid reader huh????.. I LOVE to read things like this.. Non fiction.. I hardly ever read fiction anyway, cause I figure that if I can't "learn" something from a book, it ain't worth my time to read it.. Course in fishing books, when they talk about the size that got away, that probably IS mostly "fiction" huh???? ROFL.... Thanks, Chuck who sometimes stretches his fish tales too LOL
