Casting ABU Ambassadeur Reels

Casting is the Issue to Master

Here is some advice from the early 50's when the Ambassadeur was first created, followed by advice from 20 years later.

I strongly suggest that the 4 books listed in my links page by Len Borgstom, Simon Shimomura and Daniel Skupien are absolutely essential to the study and appreciation of these fine reels. They are very definitely the Universe when it comes to matters ABU. Unlike a Penthouse which we all know are mainly bought for  the literary articles, buy these (don't loan from a library or photocopy a friends) as coffee table books at least! I have even found my wife having a sneek peek and even commenting on the beautiful reels.

 If you have any others not listed in my collection, that are unneeded or doubles in your collection and are available for a reasonable fee, I would be very pleased to hear from you.
