I agree with joaniebo and variants replies,,, Smith's book is beautiful and despite the debate about his historical stuff, the patterns and recipes provide endless inspiration.

All of the mentioned books are treasures.
It has been referenced before in this forum and I will again mention and recommend Robert Smith's You Tube channel. Great videos on flies, with histories, tactics and interviews. Very informative and entertaining.
