Books of the Black Bass

Tacoma, Washington


Welcome to my home on the web - mostly devoted to Black Bass books and Bass magazines. Included are periodicals published by State B.A.S.S. Federations, some Bass history, Bass Books from Japan, others from France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, South Africa, Zimbabwe, all countries where the Black Bass is not native. There are also pages devoted to Dr. James A. Henshall, books about fly fishing for Bass, and a Smallmouth Bass page.  You'll find a page on books published by Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, another on Black Bass magazines, and the Largest list you have ever seen of Black Bass books.  The Hot Links page will take you to places where you can search for or purchase Black Bass books.  No fishing site would be complete without The Fisherman's Prayer and there is now a page on religion & the Black Bass Inspirational Books & Fishing.   The last page I added was one on author Bill Binkelman and his books.  If you have any of Bill's books please tell me about them.  Unlike many other Web sites I don't get a commission from anyone so you're on your own here -- I'm just trying to pass on information to other victims of Black Bass bibliomania.

Most of the information on these pages is taken from the draft 5th edition of my bibliography, Books of the Black Bass.  To repeat -- all I am providing is free information.

If you have any questions about Black Bass books or want to pass on information please e-mail me or stop by the Guestbook.  If nothing else, just tell me you stopped by and if you liked or disliked what you saw.  What other information on Bass books would you like to see here? I hope you were able to find something of interest.

"Why do I spell Bass with a capital letter? Because he is the king of fish and kings always have their name capitalized." (Frank Amasa Bates in Stories of Lake, Field and Forest, 1899)
