Gary The fellows you mention are some of my favorites. I'm saddened to hear about Tapply he was a real down to earth writer. M.R. Montgomery is another writer I enjoy very much.

Mel Yes paid $150 for it . you make a good point. Technically they are first editions. but, most collectors want first printings. There are allot of fly fishing books offered on eBay by sellers with no idea has how to describe the condition of their book. One of the first questions to ask the seller is if the book comes from a smoke free home. It is near impossible to remove the smell of tobacco smoke or mildew from a book. Some of my favorite living writers are Nick Lyons, James Babb, Jerry Dennis, John Gierach and William Tapply whom just passed on not long ago.
