Yeah I met him a couple times, you can find alot of his books and x-collection for sale on ebay and arrowheads.com , I purchased 3 frames of his but sold them all.
 
Never got to meet him, but I have many of his books in my collection.....Great reading. :icon_thumright:
 
He was a fixture at many shows, and I ended up sitting next to him several times. A very nice guy.

I built the better part of my library trading rocks for books with him on the last day of many shows.
 
I never got the chance to meet him but I own several X - Hothem pieces and I really appreciate the research and work he did for this hobby. ' Paleo Indian Artifacts ' and ' Flint Ridge Artifacts ' are two of my favorite books he wrote. I like his format, nice color pictures and a brief description with everything you need to know. I own a few books signed by Lar Hothem. Here's a Flint Ridge blade X - Hothem.

I met and talked to him many times at the ASO meetings in Columbus. He was a very personable guy and loved to talk artifacts. I wish I would have bought some of the pieces from his auction but everything went really high and I just couldn't warrant spending that much. I do have a few of his books though. If you Google "Hothem House" you can still find his books for sale.
