When it comes to books, there's nothing I like more than focus. A book that has a well defined subject and covers in depth rather than broad has my vote already before I have opened it.
When I then open it and find well structured, thoroughly researched and beautifully presented content from cover to cover, I'm sold!
Such a book is Robert L. Smith's "The North Country Fly".

The story of this books is a fascinating one. The author Emrys Evans passed away in 2008 at the age of 91. In his life he had collected Welsh fly patterns. He was also a historian of Welsh fishing, and kept notes about the flies. After his death these notes were turned into a book manuscript by Geraint Vaughan Jones and the flies were photographed by his son-in-law Gareth Tudor Jones.

It costs money to drive a large site like this.
