HAROLD HINSDILL SMEDLEY. — Fly Patterns and Their Origins.
First Edition. Muskegon, Michigan. Westshore Publications. 1943. First Edition. Octavo (7 x 5). 115 pp. Errata slip laid-in. Sepia toned plates. Text illustrations. I am a Harold Smedley fan - he's a good writer, an excellent researcher, and he captures the spirit and elan of the folks who developed and created so many well-known (and those less well-known) fly patterns that have come down to us through the years. A nice book. Its bound in brown cloth with black titles. Pictorial dust jacket. Fine in a very good jacket with just a touch of edge wear.
