    Don't have one myself but while at the shop last weekend one of the guys there had just received it in the mail before he came over and I got to flip through it a couple times. Really great looking and the photos were really great. Now as for the price tag??????? I think I'll pass for now, but maybe in the not so distant future I can find a used copy.

    Wow...$125 for the 1st volume? Looks like a great book. But pricey.

    Looks like a very nice first volume with great photos and writing. However, there are several very old books that I would rather spend the $125 on.

    Neat to see some of our FAOL people in it as well. Looks like we're in good company!

    Who? Don't just tease us, give the tier or tiers public accolades.

    Never seen the book but would love to.

    I have never seen, nor heard of that particular book. It must be a good one from the price tag. I would love to have it, but the old budget won't allow that. Another book that is high, but good is Forgotten Flies. I would love to have it too. Oh well, I can keep on wishin'....lol.

    Just a bit expensive for me. My guess is that the set will become a very expensive collector's item and will rapidly rise in price after a limited printing. But again not for me! 8T

    I've got volume three, and coincidentally, I'm in volume three. It's beautifully done. I've been toying with the idea of getting all five, and might just do it. I met a couple of guys at a show I tied at in Cleveland who already had the first three, and were getting them all. I was envious. It's a lot of money. But I'm less broke than normal at the moment, so who knows?
