I had a chance to read some of that book on Christmas when my girlfriend and I were visiting her family. Her dad had been reading it, and left it on the coffee table. It saved me from having to be bored out of my mind the entire time I was there.
 
Overall, it seemed like a reasonable book, filled with facts, and not just opinions, which is more than I can say about most of the recent books on technique. I agree, its well worth the money.
 
I was in Barnes & Noble yesterday and saw a book called "learn to flyfish in 24 hours". I dont even need to say what is wrong with that. I also saw one that was based on the idea that you catch 3 times more fish when you dont use an indicator while nymphing. I dont think I need to mention whats wrong with that one, either. I ended up buying a book by Dave Ames, that I havent read yet. I just finished his book, "A Good Life Wasted or Twenty Years as a Fly Fishing Guide". It was one of the best books I have read in quite a while. I strongly reccommend it.
 
Anyone else read any good ones lately?
