You get much so more by seeing a fly tied then by just reading about it and looking at the pictures in a book. Once you can imitate the techniques demonstrated you can tie any of the recipes in a book. If you can?t watch in person at a TU, FFF meeting or fly fishing show there a quite a few good DVD?s you can buy. I recommend all the fly tying videos made by A.K. Best, and his fly tying books are excellent too.
