Anyone got this book, looks quite good and seems to have some decent reviews, I'm thinking about buying it or something similar anyway.

cheers

I bought It last week and just started reading it last night . Its very basic and suits me as im very much a novice on matching the hatch . If you are well read on the subject I would go for something else . I think its for people that are new to the subject just like me .

Thank you for that. For years I've carried a rather battered copy of John Goddard's Waterside Guide. It's quite good but the reviews for the Lapsley and Bennett book are so good, I have just ordered one from your link above and look forward to adding it to my bankside library...
