Book First Edition
(Hardcover, 2012). 2012 1st edition. Large 8vo (180 x 253mm). Pp272. B/w illustrations. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Near fine first edition copy in dust-wrapper. This copy includes the errata slip correcting the error about Ronalds' "Angler's Entomology." This is the second volume of Andrew Herd's "The History of Fly Fishing," which begins with "Volume One: The History," itself a much-expanded version of his original book, "The Fly," first published in 2001. "Volume Two: Trout Fly Patterns 1496-1916" lists chronologically all the famous British fly patterns by author and the many variations of each fly, alongside published tying instructions, a glossary of fly-tying terms and useful information on hook scale conversions. This represents the first attempt anyone has ever made to reproduce every significant list of British fly patterns published prior to 1916. There is a full and easy-to-search index of all the patterns listed. A very useful and easy-to-navigate reference book. .

Book First Edition
Condition: new. (Hardcover, 2001). 2001 1st edition. Large 8vo (175 x 246mm). Pp374. B/w line illustrations. Brown cloth with tipped-on illlustration, silk marker. A fine unread copy of the first edition, limited to only 500 copies. Andrew Herd is an associate editor of Waterlog and well-known for his witty contributions to the magazine. The Fly is the result of a decade's research into the history of fly fishing and is arguably the most authoritative work ever published on the subject. It breaks much new ground, particularly where medieval fly fishing is concerned and aims to put the reader in the shoes of our ancestors, enabling him to understand what it was like to cast a fly in times gone by, from the Romans to the present day. "Andrew Herd's text bristles with facts . . . blended with fresh and often colourful comments on the valuable and sometimes bizarre background material that has somehow eluded other authors." Fred Buller. ". . . one of the best pieces of writing and thought in fly fishing literature." John Betts. .
