Herter's "Professional Fly Tying and Tackle Making Manual"

Geo. L. Herter's "Professional Fly Tying and Tackle Making Manual and Manufacturers Guide", or a similarly titled publication, was possibly used as an introduction to fly tying by more begining tyers prior to the 1960s than any other book. The book was published either by Brown Publishing Co. or by the Herter Co., depending on the year of publication. The book started as "Complete Fly Tying Instruction Book" in 1941 with 119 pages plus an inadequate index. The book is an often overlooked or ignored classic. The book was claimed to have as many as 25 editions when in reality many were simply reprints, perhaps with minor changes on pages preceding the text. Herter also produced "Revised Editions," "Special Revised Editions," and "Revised Condensed Editions." Both paperback and hardback bindings are available for a few editions. It is very important to list the full title, latest year of publication from list following title page, the edition type given on the lower right front cover, the total of numbered pages, and whether the index is included or is additional unnumbered pages, as well as paper or hard back binding.
