I was able to find a hard cover reprint of Hamilton's book in Oregon for $14 with color plates, plus one I wanted for the new son-in-law so ordered there.

I also found a couple places on the interweb that have have in ready for download should you not want a hard copy for the bookshelf.

Steven, as a long time fisher of Clyde style patterns I have had Reid's book for some years. As you said, they are as effective now as they ever were.
