....and this was my initial take on the matter of your post as well.
plus, i am interested in places others have fished or suggest i fish,
though some hold no allure for me.

the book isn't one many of us would buy for ourselves, though i looked
at its contents at the local b&n. i'll never see 90% or more of those
places, but it's fun to look at them in a book.

there was nothing in your post that required or even invited a negative
comment, imo. i read it and appreciated it. thanks.
