These details are delivered using hundreds of top quality illustrations, step by step photographic images and explanatory text. To further assist the progressive fly tyer, I have included numerous high resolution images of the corresponding natural insect that have been taken by the world's top entomological photographers". * The Realistic Fly edition is limited to 25 copies, each with an actual Realistic Fly from the book, mounted in a black frame.
