TUPPER LAKE — The reprint of “Mostly Spruce and Hemlock,” the revered tome of Tupper Lake history, was released Thursday night at a party at the Goff-Nelson Memorial Library. Publisher and Tupper Lake native Andy Flynn, who runs Hungry Bear Publishing with his wife Dawn in Saranac Lake, said he doesn’t usually publish books that he does not write, but this book is special. Only 2,000 copies of the book, written by long-time Tupper Lake Free Press Publisher Louis J. Simmons, were printed in its original run in 1976, and people who have been interested in getting their hands on a copy over the last 30 years have often been left searching. Flynn reprinted another 2,000 copies of the book in paperback, rather than the original hardcover, because he said he wanted to make it easily available to the people of Tupper Lake. Flynn said the book is dedicated to Simmons and Tupper Lakers everywhere.
