THE SOUTHERN GAZETTE Harold N. Walters (Excerpt) Philately. Philatelist. Now there're a couple of words you don't get to use twice a week. Not unless you're a stamp collector. C. H. Colman, author of 'Flaked Out' [Fancourt Publications] is a philatelist and has been since the age of five when he first dabbled in the practice of philately. [Looka me, I scribbled both words twice! I'm the b'y!] In 'Flaked Out', Colman has combined his passion for philately with his desire to write a children's book about the history of Newfoundland showing "what happens when society fails to control its technology, and how society makes amends." It examines the history of the cod fishery from the time Beothucks scooped cod from the sea until today when efforts are being made to salvage what remains of North Atlantic cod stocks. Sixteen sections of the book open with a picture of a stamp. The first one is a Newfoundland two-cent stamp depicting a bewhiskered cod. In the accompanying text, Colman imagines a giant cod swimming in Newfoundland waters thousands of years ago. Just look "When the giant reached the bottom, it fed, and the whisker of skin that hung from its chin traced a line in the sand." Chin whisker tracing a line in the sand? That's some size of a codfish, eh b'ys? I've said before I'm like a youngster when I'm reading children's books, so I get a kick out of fancying that brute of a fish dragging his whisker along the bottom...'Flaked Out' is interesting, not only for the more than a dozen stamps but also for tidbits of codfish knowledge. Tidbit The pearly stones inside a fish's ears are called 'otoliths'. I didn't know that...FOR THE FULL REVIEW VISIT southerngazette.ca

THIS IS A COPY OF THE REPORT WHICH I GAVE TO DOROTHY TO SHARE WITH HER NEPHEW C. H. COLMANDear Dorothy,
Thank you for sharing your nephew’s delightful book with us. I have ordered two more copies from Amazon. Six adults, three of them teachers, read the book. We thoroughly enjoyed reading it and some read it twice. Four children age’s five to eight also read it. We discussed the type of story, remembered some of the history and learned things for the first time.
The historical postage stamp present on the book is a unique idea. I think this alone would draw both children and adults to the book. I think more would be interested in stamp collecting after reading your book.
“FLAKED OUT” brought back many happy memories for me. I spent some time in St. John’s Newfoundland in 1987. I enjoyed the cod jigging, eating cod tongue and watching “KISSING THE COD”. As the book states, shortly after that time there was the band on fishing for cod.
I don’t know if there is a difference between Canadian students and American students and grade level expectations. I feel that books in classrooms with age and grade ratings put the slow reader and the competent reader at a disadvantage when choosing a book. If the books are put in the library everyone can have the opportunity to read them.
