anyone who is interested in getting a hard copy of arguably the seminal work on north country spiders would do well to check out this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fishing-pritt-...d=p3286.c0.m14

ok, it is only a paperback but it is only paperback money, good book anyone with an interest soft hackled wets should have this book on the shelf.

Paperback versions of Pritt are readily available elsewhere, so these should be OK.

phil, if you read further down the page it says its a new print ,if it contains all the original material from pritt,s book it will be a decent addition to have anyway .

Interesting - looks like a print on demand job.

Save your money. Read it online from here http://www.archive.org/details/yorks...utfl00pritrich or print it out yourself.

Later version (North Country Flies) here http://www.archive.org/details/north...flie00pritrich.

i have these already, and the edmonds and lee and a bushell of other title ad PDF but you know what.. i am a sucker for a book, cant put a pdf on my bookshelf, grab it whilst tying and have a quick look...

a tenner posted for an angling classic is money well spent in my book...

I tend to agree - but not a paperback. I've got this hardback reprint http://www.anglebooks.com/product.ph...country-flies-.

There are superb plates in the originals (forgive my rushed overexposure):



I'm not sure of paperback copies. I've heard of poor black & white plates, if you can call them that, or completely missing in others. This would not apply to Coch-y-Bonddu re-editions which I find are always accurate.
