Fine unread copy in slipcase. De luxe edition with extra material. Tommy Hanna of Moneymore was an innovative and imaginative fly-dresser. He corresponded with Skues, Harding and McClelland, and Courtney Williams devotes two pages to his patterns, comparing him favourably with Skues - "but the Irishman has more imagination." The special edition is handsomely quarter-bound in black leather over sage paper-covered boards, five raised bands and gilt titles to the spine. The slipcase also encloses a cloth-bound folder containing three booklets: two facsimile catalogues; one of Alcocks True-Form Flies, an invention of Hanna; one of Hanna's own catalogues entitled "Facts about flies;" and a copy of Hanna's short story, "The Reprieve," written for the P.E.N. Club, 1944. Tipped onto the front paste-down is a sample of seal's fur in Hanna's original packet. Sixty copies of this edition were produced, 50 being numbered and available for sale, the remainder being lettered A-K and for private distribution. This is one of the numbered copies. A nicely produced de luxe issue of an important book. .

Condizione: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2003). (1916) 2003 4th edition. Edition limited to 60 sets. Ppxiv,106. Colour plates of flies, tipped-in b/w photographs. Full goatskin, matching slipcase. Very slight use to slip-case else near fine. Numbered #19 of 50. The flies were tied by Stuart Bowdin of Nelson, who has signed the limitation page. One of a de luxe edition limited to 60 sets, 50 numbered and 10 lettered. This is one of the numbered copies. The volume of text is a new printing of the 1997 Smith Settle facsimile edition, on high quality paper and with the sepia photographs tipped-in rather than printed. It has a subscribers list and a limitation page, and contains the new introduction by Leslie Magee. The second volume contains 36 specimen flies together with examples of the materials required to tie them, displayed in ten mounts. The flies were tied by Stuart Bowdin of Nelson, who has signed the limitation page. Both volumes are handsomely bound in full dark-brown goatskin, gilt-lettered and with raised bands, and presented in a buckram and leather slipcase. The 1997 edition mentions this de luxe edition as though it was produced in that year. However the flies were five years in the tying; hence the later date of this edition. The whole edition sold out before publication and is now very hard to find. .
