Pros
Probably the clearest details on techniques AND a good coffee table book. Samples of Blacker Flies you can almost touch.
Cons
I bet Mr. Radencich could do a follow-up book that included more patterns, and equal the sale of the first book.

Pros
A great book all around.
Excellent format and wonderful crisp clear photography that is truely inspirational.
The book for any aspiring Classic Tyer and experienced tyer alike.
A great read and a wonderful source of inspiration to the tyer.
Cons
The step by steps tend to overlook minute details that the beginner may not be able to grasp on their own. Not incomplete, but rather vague.

Pros
I just got this book this morning and have already read it from cover to cover. Alot of tecniques that were a little vague to me are now a little more clear. The photography is excellent. Theres a fantastic chapter on matting and framing flies that I can't wait to put to good use. All in all it was worth every penny and a welcome addition to my library
Cons
This book is freaking heavy!! I don't know if thats a con or not, but I bet it weighs close to 4 pounds!!
