The Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles series of books volumes 1-5 are very good informative and interesting books which tell a great deal about each manufacturer and there products. The pictures are good quality and there are some approximate values on some lures. Each volume tells about different companies with very little repeats and show some nice old catalog ads.I would recommend this series of books for excellent reading for historical information but not for a lure value guide.
I bought this book because I am going through my fathers estate and trying to figure out what to do with his stuff. He just happened to have a huge box of fishing tackle and I have no knowledge of this stuff. My father was 74 when he passed and some of this tackle is old vintage stuff. Since I had no idea what I was looking at, I searched for some books to research the fishing lures and tackle and I purchased this book. The book is very informative but it appears the stuff I have was made prior to the stuff in this book. At least I got an idea of what kind of lure I was looking at and I became more familiar with the types, models, etc. I have not sold the box of tackle yet in my store, but this book definitely helped me gain some additional knowledge.
Because I’ve learned so much about modern Lures I didn’t think it was worth anything and but they are

Excellent reference for every "Fishing Lure Collector".The series of 5 books are a must for the serious collector!The text is well informed & the photographs of the "LURES" are well represented & illustrated.Each book in the series makeS a beautiful "COFFEE TABLE" type to be displayed!
This is the fifth and final volume in the series of "Modern Fishing Lure Collectibles". I would recommend all five volumes as they are the only ones that discuss modern fishing lures [and some of the older companies] so thoroughly. Photography is excellent and many lesser-known lure makers are discussed.
