    • Pretty much what is says it is.

      It 's not exactly what I thought it would be, but answered a lot of basic question's as a complete rookie at fly tying. Its pretty much exactly 100 tips and explanations with very good color photos. The book is almost a hrad cover, kind of soft, but certainly not soft cover. It woudl be nice if it had an index and/or table of contents.

    • OK

      Good picture book of flies but wish it had illustrations of fly tying from start to finish in pictorial form.
