Stoddart, Toronto, 1995, 1st. ISBN 0-7737-5714-7. Trade soft cover, 239 pages. Very good plus; unread copy with very light edge and cover wear. ‘As a boy of 15, while searching for fishing bait one day, Roy Mayer discovered some bright green minnows swimming in an abandoned quarry. That event planted a seed which, years later, would change Mayer’s life. Why not invent a product to colour live baitfish? Thus was born the notion of Color Z Bait. Mayer takes us on a fascinating journey, from perfecting the product formula in his basement lab to the triumph of winning a $1 million television advertising contest. But the road from bright idea to successful money maker is fraught with hazards.’ (from front flap)
