I picked up a copy this past weekend, anyone read it?

Finished it a couple of weeks ago (it's in my local public library).
Much better than I had expected it to be. Primarily a brief history of
split cane rod making in the U.S., focusing on a small number of the
best early and contemporary makers.

If you have an interest in the Winston/Sweetgrass team, you may find the
