Book Signing - The Last Guide - Ron Corbett

Join Ron Corbett for a signing of his book

The Last Guide The Story of Fish and Love Saturday June 20  1:00-3:00 Read's Book Shop 130 Lansdowne Ave Carleton Place, ON

The story of Frank Kuiack, the last full-time fishing guide in Algonquin Park, became a bestseller when it was published by Penguin Books Canada in 2001. Frank's story -- how he built a life in the wilderness, quit drinking, fell in love with his wife, Marie -- was a hit with readers for both its beauty and its message.

Re-issued this summer -- with updated chapters and new photos by Julie Oliver -- the Last Guide remains one of the best fishing stories you'll ever read.

• "A homage to a vanishing way of life" -- The Toronto Star
• "Wonderful. . .both engaging and descriptive, and the story itself is an absolute page turner." The Kitchener-Waterloo Record
• "The Last Guide is a tale that will not only hook you, but will feed the soul forever." Roy MacGregor (Author of Canadians: Portrait of a Country and its People.)
