Default specific books

I was just wondering if there are any books out there that deal with specific types of fly and how to fish them ie buzzers,nymphs and dry flies,i know of a few books that cover all 3 or should i say you get a few paragraphs discussing all 3 i would like a more in depth look at each of the flies and how to tie and fish them.Thank You.

Not sure how detailed you want but Gary Lafontaine wrote a classic called "Caddisflies" covering everything from identifying to fishing them

There are plenty of books on fishing dry's(too many) 'Fishing the dry fly' Dermot Wilson.Then 'Mastering the nymph' Gorden Fraser.'Nymph fishing in practice' Oliver Kite
But I cannot think of any specific book on buzzer fishing, It would be a small book.

Taff Price has written a very good book on Sedges.

Karel Krivanec - Czech Nymph
Ed Koch - Fishing the Midge

Probably a lot more that I can't think of too.
