Best, A. K.: Production Fly Tying: A Collection of Ideas, Notions, Hints, & Variations on the Techniques of Fly Tying; 0871087812 / 9780871087812, New Book
1989 Pruett Publishing Co; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Fine Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
(Description) A beuatiful copy of this title, in it's 1st printing, and even scarcer in that it is signed by the Author, AND John Gierach, who wrote the introduction (no inscriptions). PLUS, a fly tied by the author is tipped in on the title page. Very scarce!! *** (Synopsis) Every time you sit down at your vise intending to tie a couple of #16 Adams or #14 Hare's Ear Nymphs, you are about to become a production tier. And you are faced with the same problems as any other production and commercial tier. The only difference is that the commercial tier may sit down to tie twenty dozen #16 Adams. The point is, you are each going to tie one fly at a time, and you both want the second fly to look exactly like the first one. I'm going to tell you how to do that. If you are tying flies for your own needs, you are naturally interested in durability as well as in creating the most life-like simulation you can achieve given all the built-in restrictions of materials, etc. Commercial tiers have an even keener concern for both considerations, since their livelihood depends on sales and, more important, reorders. Both the commercial and noncommercial tier are concerned with one other important concern - time. Time is money to everyone., AB00134.
