I recently finished reading "Carp on the Fly". GREAT book! If you wanna learn about fishing for carp...even if you've already been catching them...I recommend this book. I know a number of folks on FAOL have already read it.
The authors spent a great deal of time figuring out carp, and I do believe they NAILED IT.

Anyway, I also have a book on Clouser's flies, so I had to tie up a few Clouser Swimming Nymphs. Can't wait for open water to try and fool some carp on these!
