Everyone wants to do a Bucket List Book with us. But we are trying to be careful and do books that haven’t been done to death. These are a few that are powering ahead that we are excited about.

The Ultimate Fly-Fishing Bucket List book by Slim Randles is a love of Slim’s. He wrote our Cowboy Bucket List book and the Fly-Fishing is scheduled to come out in the spring.

Slim knows fishing. Slim fishes. And the Bucket List book is a glimpse into all 50 states and what they have to offer the world of fly-fishing. In true Slim style it is facts about fishing but his signature stories.
A great book for Father’s Day.

The Ultimate Chile Bucket List book by Ana Baca gives her personal insight into the world of chile. Granted this will probably be a best selling book on travel into the South American country of Chile – no lie. But this book is about all the things that have made chile (our New Mexico spelling – not C_H_I_L_I!) as popular and big business.

Ana comes from the Baca family of Bueno Foods. They know chile! Ana has been around chile all her life and has seen chile from all over the world. This is just not New Mexico chile! This Bucket List book will be ready, hopefully, by the Fiery Foods Show in March.

The Ultimate Crab Bucket List book celebrates crabs all over the world. In New Mexico people may say – What? – Crabs? But in Maryland they are a big deal. It is fun to eat what you write about!

See these Bucket List Books next year.
