To order simply follow the instructions on the order page. We will not charge your credit card until the book is despatched. You will receive regular updates with details of our publishing schedule.

Question 15What is a "Working Copy"? Back to top

We sometimes have small quantities of some books that have not passed our strict quality control. We offer these at a discounted price. Examples of faults are scuffed bindings, ink marks or slight creases on pages, damaged slipcases or no slipcases, gold blocking imperfect. These are books to work with when fly-tying, to take to the river bank or as an everyday reading/reference copy in addition to your own copy which can then be kept in pristine condition.

Question 16I see that a book is marked Sold Out - is it possible to go on a waiting list in case one becomes available? Back to top

Yes, just send us an email letting us know which title you are interested in and we will contact you if one becomes available.
