Tying is the most relaxing Hobby I have ever had. Even though it does wrack my nerves at times when things like a pair of wings don’t want to line up correctly no matter what I do. Or working with calf tail... LOL... Chuck

I am just trying to get that certain Fishy Fullum book by using the ol’s barter system since cash is a scare commodity here LOL.. And the trout fishing books. It’s just that I know there are probably newbies, (or oldies) that can get much more use of those than I can, seeing as we have no trout where I live. I still have well over 100 books and/or videos besides those 3 or 4. And hope to buy 100 more in the future. EVERYnight before going to sleep, I read my Bible, and I get one of my fly tying/fishing books and read about 20-30 minutes out of each book and I ALWAYS learn something new out of them BOTH... Doc says it would help my insomnia if I’d just lay down and go to sleep without reading, watching TV, or getting on the computer, but he does agree with me that out of those three things, the reading is the lessor likely to cause insomnia than watching TV or looking at the computer screen , both of which are turning on and turning off at a rate of at LEAST 60 times per seconds (called hertz), but it happens soo fast, we don’t see that “strobe light” effect, but our brains do. Oh well, got off the subject there, but the short answer is NOOOOOOO. I’d rather give up just about any other hobby I have that fishing or tying. I’m what they call “addicted” to tying. Now for some pretty weather so I can get back to being addicted to the fishing end of it LOL...Chuck From: Donna Crowell Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2014 1:23 PM To: javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]'); Subject: Re: [VFB] Fly Tying book to sell or trade. Hi Chuck, are you giving up tying ? Donna On Saturday, March 29, 2014, Chuck Alexander <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');> wrote: Folks: I have the Hardcover edition of the oversized 306 page book called “Micropatterns; Tying and Fishing the Small Fly” 1994, 2nd edition book by Darrel Martin. Although it does have a remainder mark on the edge of the bottom pages, it would grade as in “very Good Condition” with the dust jacket is excellent condition, along with no writing, highlighting, folded pages or anything like that. On amazon, the book, which can be found here Jay "Fishy" Fullum ties his "Peel-and-Stick" The lowest cost copy listed in very good condition on the first page of listing goes from between $13.99 to $176. 40 (plus $3.99 S&H) for the highest priced copy in Very Good condition, but when pricing books on Amazon etc, I just take the low and the high of the FIRST PAGE of listings, and usually price mine at about the avg price of that first page, which in this case would be $15.70 plus S&H, but while I would sell the book for $14.00 which WOULD include the $3.99 S&H in that price,what I’m really looking to do is to trade if for a copy of Fishy Fullum’s book called “ Fly Tying with Common Household Materials” which ranges NEW on Amazon from $11.79 to $19.31, for an avg New price of $15.50 plus $3.99 S&H. I would be interested in an equal trade PLUS, I’d throw in another of several books I have on fly tying for Trout. I have three smaller books, all in good condition, one called “Fly Fishing with Streamers” by Ian and Charity Rutter, “Basic Essential Fly Fishing” by Michael Rutter, or “Fly Fishing for brook trout”"; Advice from the guides” by Ian and Charity Rutter. Like I said, I’d trade you the Fishy Fullum Book (or ANY Fishy Fullum Book” for the “Micropatterns; Tying the Small Fly” book plus one of the three small books listed here above. I also have a few more fly fishing, and/or fly tying books I will be offering (probably) real soon, and at a real good deal, such as my so think about that as well.
