Pritt's book online
Hi,
For anyone interested, the link below should take you to a copy of Pritt's "North-Country Flies", 2nd edition, published in 1886 (the 1st being entitled "Yorkshire Trout Flies"). If you choose the print option you can save it as a Pdf file on your hard drive (the copywrite has expired so it's now freely available). This is a good book for those interested in spider/soft hackle flies.

Great find, Jeff!!
Now a bit of prodding my old brain ... how do you get it to copy as a pdf ALL the pages at once?
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Hi Betty,
After clicking on the link in the first post, on the right hand side of the web page that opens up should be "Print Details". Click on that (it's a link, but doesn't really look like one). That opens another window that includes a PDF option, which will allow you to save it to your computer. It should download the whole book into one file. Hope that was clear?
It appears you could choose to have the book printed, bound, and sent to you, but I have no idea what that would cost.

Great Book!
Hey Jeff,
Thank you for the research. That's a wonderful book. I love the way the introduction captures the flavor of the times. 8T
Thank you! It's amazing how easy that was ... when you have someone tell you how to do it!!!

Betty, if you don't mind, let us know the quality and cost for getting the Kinko hard copy.
