Salmon Doubts

This graphic novel by Adam Sacks concerns a salmon named Geoff tormented by existential questions: why was he hatched? How can he overcome his shyness around the female salmon with whom he longs to spawn? Who are these self-appointed leaders of the group, and how is it that they have their power? Why must he swim upstream and face his doom? Geoff eventually finds his destiny by breaking away from the pack and heading out toward the open ocean, while his best friend, Henry, is content to continue upstream, spawn with his love-object, Samantha, and die.

Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley is sought after once more

BookFinder.com has just released their annual “BookFinder Report” on the 100 most sought after out-of-print books in America and Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley is on the list.

This is the book from the classic 1980's Yellow Pages TV advert which featured J.R. himself traipsing around London looking for his old book. Neither the book, nor J.R. Hartley actually existed at the time of the commercial. Due to the popularity of the ad, a spoof memoir by the fictional Mr. Hartley was published in 1991 and it's the spoof of the out-of-print book which is on the most sought after book list.
