View Book - The Fisher Stove Story
Category:History -> Fisher Stoves
In 1979 a book was written and published which provides the story of Bob Fisher, the man most credited with the initial resurgence of the modern North American wood stove manufacturing revival.
As the story goes, 300 copies or so of the book printed. Then, for some reason (legal and PR related), Fisher Stove International decided to recall the existing copies and no republish the book. However, a number of copies remain in print.
I recently read the book – lent to me by a former Fisher Stove licensee – a shop still called “Fisher’s Hearth & Home” located in Roseburg, OR.
Below find the cover and couple of pages from the book – including a signed note from Bob Fisher.
I have procured my own copy of the book and hope to scan it and post it so our readers can enjoy the tale.
