  • Surf Fever - John Severson
    In 1960, The Surfer, a modest booklet crammed with Severson's highly evocative black-and-white 16mm frame grabs, a few pen-and-ink sketches, acouple of ads, and even a literate short fiction, hit the surf shops. It soon became SURFER MAGAZINE, the bible of the sport. In this labor of love, John expands on his original theme, creating 'SURF FEVER,' a 216 page hard-cover book filled with the same stoke and all of his fabulous photos."
