The above book is still for sale at Amazon UK. Price ?9.50 BP ($18.1289).

It has few illustrations, no photographs but is still one of the best sources for soft hackle and wet fly info
available today. Before Amazon started offering these books last year, the price on the second hand market
was $150.00 and upwards, depending on the condition.
Amazons books are in mint condition and as there was only one edition ever published (198,
I can only assume someone mislaid a whole batch of them, and as they are in effect still new books,
they have to be sold at the original 1988 price, which was ?9.50.
Go for it, they could run out.

Dear Fellow Fly Angler REE
If you don't get planted by VEE
You will most definitely SEE
What a great book this will BEE

Actually, when I got the Golden Plover, Woodcock wings, mole, jackdaw, etc, VEE seemed pretty excited. Then when the Peasall's arrived she was all ready to start tying some wee wets. There may be two converts in the house.

Thanks for letting me know about how much the book cost. I figure Donald and Softhackler won't steer me wrong.

all of GEM Skues books are excellent too, as are a host of others. I just rate these as my 3 favorites. JMO.
