That book was sold by it’s self. I bought a copy in 1971 and still have it. Great book. I used it for color in the flies. Back then most books didn’t have color in them like they do today so we used that book a lot. Brings back a lot of old memories. Thanks

Great little reference book. I’ve also seen the same book sold under the name “Family Circle’s Guide to Trout Flies and How to Tie Them”.
I picked up a 1970 copy of that book at a flea market JUST for those gorgious color plates!
My one of these days plan is to scan the plates so I can make shadow boxes with real flies next to the pictures.
I have the book also. I would not like to try and learn to tie flies from it however.
