The books considered essential
reading for Abuphiles:
ABU Books of worth are few and far between
and it is not difficult or expensive to purchase most, for under a few
hundred dollars in total.
Some are specifically ABU orientated, while
other Australian Books, magazines etc below but are still considered
mandatory reading/reference material. Enjoy what I have linked.

"ABU/Record
Beten Fran 40 till 80 Talet"
by Urban Westblom and Goran Magnusson
Copies are
very expensive and cost up to $200 each. I believe there is a
possibility of a reprint some time and urge your purchase of this
wonderful bait/lure resource.
I will
try to confirm this when I can contact the
authors.
