Striper
A moving tribute to the striped bass and the hardy men who fish for them.
In Maine
John Cole's classic In Maine is a sometimes moving, sometimes lyrical, but always personal book that reveals a man examining the progress of life and a man reveling in a natural world that not only unfolds around him, but a world in which he is an active participant.
Bangkok Hard Time
It is 1967 Bangkok and teenager Jon Cole, son of a US Green Beret colonel serving in Vietnam, is coming of age in Thailand. Drawn to the underbelly of Bangkok by GIs on R&R from Vietnam, the army brat soon discovers ganja and opium, which leads to a career as an international drug smuggler and jail time inside Bangkok’s notorious prison, the “Bangkok Hilton”. A memoir of an American smuggler spanning four decades
First Rite
This is the poignantly told, beautifully illustrated story of a time-honored Maine tradition: cutting the family Christmas tree in the woods. It is late in the day as the author trudges through fast-falling snow, searching for just the right tree in the waning light. On his way, he is accompanied not only by the wild creatures of his coastal homestead but by the memories of childhood Christmases and thoughts of others who held this land before him.
From the Ground Up
In 2020, Strata Community Association (NSW) celebrated its 40th anniversary, having been incorporated in November 1980 as the Institute of Strata Title Management. The original strata title legislation passed into law in New South Wales (NSW) in July 1961 and was the first such legislation anywhere in the world.In the light of this it seemed fitting for SCA (NSW) to commission the writing of a history, both of the organisation and the legislation and so, in 2017, the SCA (NSW) board endorsed historian, John Coleman, to carry out this work.Coleman has an association with the strata title industry stretching back more than 30 years through his role with service provider, Express Glass.

Tarpon Quest
In Tarpon Quest, Cole offers a vivid and detailed look at his quarry, the great silver king, and of the exquisite waters of the Florida Keys and the Marquesas Islands that it inhabits. He describes the dramatic pursuit of these huge fish with fly rod and flies - near misses, heartrendering failures, the earned (and unearned) successes of others, and finally his own chance.
Generations
Generations: The Fishing Families of Hastings is a photographic portrayal from the 1990s to the present day of the men and women of Britain's oldest beach-launched fishing community. Realised by the photojournalist and Hastings resident John Cole, the book portrays a unique community that may soon become extinct. Generations is in the tradition of ......
Away All Boats
High-spirited and passionate--at once a useful guide and a record of an extended love affair with small boats--Away All Boats is a blending of sparkling waterlands and vivid memories. Author of Striper and Fishing Came First, John N. Cole takes readers from the dangers of haul-seining for striped bass that challenge a wooden dory's limits in the surf to the excitement of searching the flats of the Florida Keys for tarpon and other game fish aboard a shall-draft, high-tech craft perfectly matched to the task. Evocative of nature's miracles and realities (and the foibles of men who go down to the sea in "ships"), the writing is dry and witty, tender and perceptive. Alongside the hard facts and...
