Big, Beautiful Fish (Book)

MinnPost's Amy Goetzman has a crush on Tom Dickson's new book The Great Minnesota Fish Book. There's no other way to explain her rave review on MinnPost.

For example, she writes, "The book is gorgeous. So gorgeous, in fact, that I suspect a majority of copies will live on coffee tables in lavish northern Minnesota cabins. Each fish is illustrated by Joseph R. Tomelleri, a Kansas City biologist and artist who is to fish what Audubon is to birds." And, "The Fish Book is fascinating. Dickson profiles the habits and history, natural and human-influenced, of each fish, and mixes in a little advice to anglers."

But credit where credit is due, she's right: it is a very cool book.

Come see for yourself. Tom Dickson will be in the store tomorrow (Sunday, October 19), at 5:00pm. Come share a few fish stories and check out the book you're getting your dad for Christmas this year.--David E
