I've been contemplating buying this book for a while now. Bit the bullet and ordered it. Wonderful concept of a techniques book and I own other book by Jim Schollmeyer "Nymph Fly Tying Techniques" and enjoyed that one but was shocked at the Printed in China notice. Everything is made in China these days, but a $100 fly tying book that is printed in China just really rubbed me the wrong way. Nice material in the book, wonderful photos, highly recomended by many and "MADE IN CHINA". If I knew that before I bought the book, I probably would have passed on it. I bought it sight unseen. No issue with the content but it took the big smile right off my face when I was so happy to have it in my hands. A real reference work - "made in China".

It's probably just this old guy these days, people don't care if we have a job here in the states, we all just want to buy stuff cheap. But a $100 book isn't a cheap proposition.

Thanks for letting me vent, back now to your regularly scheduled programs.
