If you already have Francis-Francis's book, would you buy this? Just wondering if its only the salmon fly section from FF's book, or more. Thanks!

Thanks Dave, the Amazon is paperback.

I was wondering if its only the salmon section of FF's book, or more. CJ

The different editions have different patterns (like the Royal which doesn't appear in the 2nd or 5th editions or the 1st edition reprint I have), this brings them all together with other patterns from magazines he wrote for - it also breaks them down into modern pattern structure making them much easier to read - if you are just after the patterns buy this and NOT FF itself. Though ignore Waltham's notes on materials as they're bollocks.

Yes it IS just the salmon flies.
