Salmon Flies: Past and Present by Henk van Bork

Flyfisher's Classic Library de luxe edition Limited to only 13 copies, only 10 of which are being offered for sale.

Hand-bound by Phil Parkins, at Ludlow Bookbinders, these books incorporate all that is best in traditional English Craft Bookbinding. Signed and numbered by the author. Presented in a solander box, this book is bound in finest scarlet-coloured goatskin leather with three raised bands on the spine, gold foil blocked on spine and front, with a blind frame on front and back cover, with an inset image of the Spirit Fly. Incorporated within the solander box is a beautifully executed cloth-bound presentation folder which holds an original salmon fly tied by the author. The folder and solander box are made from complementary scarlet cloth and the box is lined with watermarked silk. Destined to become one of the scarcest and most collectable of salmon fly books. A couple of comments on the book: "I received the book this morning, and the first 5 minutes I was out of this world, wooouuuw what a nice job you have done. Absolutely wonderful..." "What a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much... Your bookbinder from Ludlow has done a superb job and the book will take pride of place in my angling library." Only a few copies remain - first come, first served! Price £495.00 UPDATE - Only one copy left! Please contact us soon if you would like to reserve the final copy of this beautiful de luxe book.
