Colour photographs, colour and b/w illustrations. New cover design in green. Fine new unread paperback. This is the newly revised and up…dated edition of Feather Mechanic One. "The book is a one of a kind, not to be missed experience. It is the direct result of years of personal experience, figuring things out for myself and coming up with a workable system to approaching tying that is logical and simple. What makes it different from anything else you've ever read is that it is not a book about tyings steps but rather a book about ideas. The book is a tying philosophy more than anything else. I got so bored with the conventional 'follow the numbers' way that tying got taught and felt there was a need for an alternative approach, hence writing this book."

"I rate this book among the very best ever published on that oft-times confounding, but always captivating addiction, called fly-tying". (Tom Sutcliffe). .
