About This Item
1912. Privately printed by the author, [1912]. 8vo. Original green cloth, title stamped in gilt to upper cover and spine; pp.144; a little exterior rubbing and light offsetting to endpapers, but nevertheless a very good copy, very bright and unfoxed internally. First Edition. Many of the flies seem very unconventional compared to those used by Halford and Skues, and include such unusual species as crane-flies and spiders.
