    Default Fly tying books

    Hi Folks,

    While looking for some tying books, I
    stumbled across this site. They list over
    6,700 fly tying books, all over the world.
    Some are used, some shelf worn, some retired
    library books, and some all new and shiney.
    Prices start at $1.00 and go up to $6,500.
    Shipping seems reasonable. Good search
    engine on the site. [url=http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&y=6&kn=fly+tying&x=26:d312d]http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&y=6&kn=fly+tying&x=26[/url:d312d]
    Warm regards, Jim

    I've bought from Abe books many times over the last several years and have always had a good buying experience.

    Hey thanks guys,

    I'm expecting to be down for a while
    soon due to knee surgery. Good time to
    do some reading and learn some new fly
    patterns. The UPS guy just delivered Steves
    Tying with Foam Fur & Feathers from Barnes
    and Nobles. Cost me $25 w/shipping. It's
    only $6 at Abes. I shoulda found the
    site last week.*G* Warm regards, Jim

    How much wood can a woodchuck cut if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

    How many flies can a fly tier tie if a fly tier could tie flies?

    Another good site for used books, shipped all over the world is Powells Used Books in Portland, Oregon. Believe it or not they are the largest used book store in the world. You can google them at Powells used books. Good luck, Jonzee
