Rods By Divine
Michael Sinclair
1993, Centennial Publications

This is the only book dedicated exclusively to Divine rods and the history of the company.  Well researched, fun to read, and full of detailed info for rod collectors.  Everyone who collects rods should buy and read this book.  Most of the information on this web site comes from it. 

The best place to get your copy is from Michael himself at:  CaneClinic@aol.com
Tell him Dean sent you and he'll probably even sign it for you.  He's one hell of a nice guy.

While you're at it, check out Michael's other invaluable books all brought to us by Centennial Publications:

Heddon: The Rod  with a  Fighting Heart
Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook
Colorado Classic Cane

There are other books with information on Divines...or rather misinformation (The Keane and Schweibert books don't even spell the name right!).  However they are informative when taken in context. Unfortunately, they're all fairly expensive and the two older titles are out of print.  Here's a short list:

Classic Rods and Rodmakers - Keane, Martin - Winchester 1976
TROUT - Schweibert, Earnest - Dutton 1978
Classic and Antique Fly Fishing Tackle - A.J. Campbell - Lyons and Burford 1997
