I've seen Sylvester's book for sale. The name of the bookstore is, or I think it is: Kingston Hill Book Store located in Kingston Rhode Island 401-792-8662. The book store is across the street from the University of Rhode Island. I'm pretty sure this is the name; anyway this book store has a huge fishing collection of lots of great titles, many of them now dated. In my opion though it is the older books that have the richest information. The boys in the 50's and 60's knew how to catch bass, and i find it interesting how little has changed--jigs and wood and a chunk on the bottom.
As far as Sylvester's book goes, i think it's a great read. He breaks the bass chapter down month by month, and it is his bass writings which form the heart of the book. I live in Narragansett and still have my fathers copy, which i spent many childhood nights reading and dreaming over.
I forget what they were asking for the price, but I want to say 40-50$
Still the bass chapter, I think, is worth photocopying at the library, if you don't want to spend the dough.
