BOAT BUILDING TIME 
Is the time for the prospective Houseboat owner to consider plans and 
estimates. Next spring will be the right time to break away from the 
conventional summer life, save rent or country board, and become a 
houseboat dweller. The best preparation and incentive is reading 
ALBERT BRADLEE HUNT’S 
“Houseboats and Houseboating” 
It is the only complete and thoroughly reliable work on the subject, 
and beside this, is one of the most beautiful and thoroughly readable 
books published. It is fascinating reading, dealing as it does with a new 
and delightful phase of outdoor life. 
It describes houseboat life, the equipment and furnishing of the 
floating home, with detailed plans for all types from the simplest to the 
most elaborate. It shows how the problem of the inexpensive summer 
home close to business and city is solvable, and covers every point that 
the seeker after houseboat truth can raise. Buckram, 332 pages, superbly 
illustrated, plans, etc.

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer s 
book supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, tourna¬ 
ment casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates- not at all. He tells 
“the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. 
All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rod''; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well-known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indis¬ 
pensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $1.00.
