Possibly a bit dated but I have Eric Leisers Fly tying materials published in 77 .
chapters on hackle,furs,roadkill,tinsels,hooks,tools,skinning and cleaning,preservation and storage,necks ,dying and bleaching,synthetics, rare feathers and subs,and suppliers.
Dated but still a good work .
ISBN 0-517503506.
Open to a sensible offer !

AK Best's book on dying is as good as any, but the best way is to find someone who does it regularly and watch them it makes everything so much clearer.
I bet Paul Morgan has it at Coch y Bhondu books.

You would win your bet. Twice over really as they have it on 1/2 price offer this month (£9.95).

A.K. Best is the 'AK' who always gets to outfish John Gierach on those Trout Bum camping trips.

What condition is it in Andy? I'd be more than interested.
