TED LEESON & JIM SCHOLLMEYER. — The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference to Techniques and Dressing Styles. {The Japanese Edition}.

Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. Kimio Yonenoi, Publisher. 2003. First Japanese Edition. Large quarto (13 x 8 1/2). xvii, [1], 436, [2] pp. including colophon. The book is one inch taller than the American edition. Translated by "Billy" Higashi. Laid-in is a typed letter signed written by the book’s publisher, Kimio Yonenoi, thanking the American publisher, Frank Amato Publications, for its assistance with the book’s production; according to the letter, it was a difficult typographical project to complete. The text is in Japanese with English category titles and section titles. A tremendous number of explicit and accurate color photos showing exactly how to dress every conceivable fly known to mankind. A very cool book and it’s scarce as hen’s teeth. WorldCat locates no copies held in institutions. The book is bound in gray cloth with silver titles. Pictorial dust jacket. A beautiful book. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
