Hard Cover. Etat : Fine. xxxviii, [1], 224 pp.[1914] In Slipcase. Gary LaFontaine and Greycliff Press thought enough of this title to make it the only 'classic' fly fishing book they ever reprinted. But if you think this is only a reprint, you'ld be sadly mistaken. Included within are things that make this special: A new introduction by Paul Schullery, color plates of the La Branche flies, appendix one - Casting the Curve, appendix two - Skues - La Branche correspondence 1925 -1947, appendix three - Insects Imitated, and an Index. All of these help add to the understanding of Wyandanch Club member George La Branche's classic work. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Limited Edition. N° de réf. du vendeur 230103
