sure sounds like you knew better than that...



Two factors were at work

1) I'm a sucker for fly fishing books

2) I saw the title at a time when I was giving a lot of thought to
fishing "in" and very slightly to the "underside of" ... the "film"

and I hoped for new insights into the very challenging specific
problems involved with such presentation and patterns for same ...i.e.
don't float, don't sink

I bought the book online, based on MY projection of what the title
'should" mean, apparently not Borger's ..... if I had had a chance
to thumb through it, I would have passed

Resurrecting this post to exclaim that THIS BOOK is the Reader's
Digest version of the Holy Grail of all known, flyfishing for trout,
knowledge and wisdom.

I'd agree with that ... but since I already owned "Presentations" and
"Designing Trout Flies" ( something like that) I was disappointed to
find my $$ vanished for the Reader's Digest version, nothing new here,
at all G

Seems he has a whole series of self plagiarism planned .... bless and
bow down to the $$ .... fooled me once, but he won't twice

I'll give my copy of this Digest version to someone that seems
interested and deserving, soon as I meet one.
