ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 1998). 1998 1st edition. 8vo paperback (152 x 218mm). Pp110. Colour photographs, b/w illustrations, brief bibliography. Slight signs of use/ slight creases to cover but a very good second-hand paperback. Professor Threadgold guides us th…rough the Footprint Fly system: he identifies the factors which attract a trout's attention as a natural fly drifts into its window and devises patterns which do just that. The patterns are refined aerodynamically so that they land the right way up and are intended to be tied successfully by any more or less passable fly tyer. They are also intended to form the beginnings of a larger family of patterns by easily allowing variation and evolution of the basic patterns using the same range of techniques and materials. The author follows in the tradition of Vincent Marinaro and Goddard and Clarke, but is chiefly concerned with learning from more purely academic research usually skipped over by fly fishermen. Chapters include: In the eye of the beholder - trout vision; Visions near and far; Triggers and flies; Patterns of development; The basic principles of the footprint fly system (Ephemeroptera); The basic principles of the footprint fly system (Trichoptera and Diptera); Patterns for various species; Back to the beginnging. .

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Learn the art of making images from wood veneers. This book gives you a thorough introduction to picture marquetry, showing how results of considerable subtlety can be achieved using simple tools and only small amounts of material. The author explains how veneers are made, and how their different… grain patterns can be exploited to add texture and detail to the finished picture. He describes and illustrates tools and accessories in detail, including some you can make yourself at very little cost. Two simple and attractive projects - a viola and a dipper - serve to show the two basic techniques of picture marquetry: cutting with the knife, and cutting with the fretsaw using the 'pad' method. You will then learn how to mount the finished work and how to set it off to best advantage with appropriate borders and edges. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
