Very nice job on the arrangement of that area. It looks good this that old piece of bamboo across it. That's an impressive collection of Berkshire literature. I noticed your "Boy Scouts of Bob's Hill" collection. When did you get those? The collection I have is the old staple bound set the was titled "The Boys of Bob's Hill" and "The Bob's Cave Boys" Vol 1&2 by Charles Pierce Burton. I'm pretty sure I got mine in the early 1990's from the town library. I've never seen them titled "The Boy Scouts of Bob's Hill". Good local story though, have you ever spent any time up on old West Mountain Road in Adams?

My other obsession with this sport is collecting Fly Fishing Literature. I'm really hooked on this collection from Derry Dale press titled "Fly Fisherman's Gold" It's a collection of about 20 reprints from some of the best antique angling books ever published and they are all beautifully leather bound. Here's a picture from an EBay Auction cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4588697550&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1#ebayphotohostingI just purchased a copy of my favorite book ever (The Complete Angler) that goes with this set and it includes a bunch of personal letters on Waltons that I have never read. My other favorites are anything by Schwiebert. His works are amazing. I don't see a copy of Trout Bum in that collection, Shaun.
