Ah must be and attempt to appeal to the common man by leaving out the "R." With a title like that one hopes he's aware of the legal limit... 8)

There is a section in the back of the book that gives fishing tips by Saltheart Foamfollower.
You know he was an expert fisherman...

The face was obviously an insert, but the way you guys were talking, I thought it was SRD who arranged for the Photoshop work. :oops:
