Pros
Great Book for beginers.

Particulrly nice and new format with split pages.

Nice patterns.

Destined to be a classic beginers book.

Cons
For what ever reason there are two sections for each type of pettern. For instance the forst group of dry flies and then in the back a second group of dry flies.

I don't know why they were split up.
