    Walter & Group...

    [GH]  From Bob Rumpf :

    Hi Gordy,
     
    I guess I just got lucky this week, I located two copies of Gary's "Presentation". I had to pay $160.00 a piece with postage, but that's still a lot less than they are presently selling for, which in some cases is over $400.00. Both are nice copies with fine dust jackets and one of them is signed by Gary. As usual, first come, first served. Price is the same as my price.
     
    Regards,

    [GH]  As I've said before, this book is one of the best I've ever read on fly fishing/casting.  It's written in simple terms by one of the very best teachers.

    It's also valuable as an addition to a fly fishers' library of collectables.

    Some years ago when its original price was $ $34.95 and used copies were available for $20.00 or so, I felt that it was a MUST for all Master candidates.  As the years pass, the price escalates.

    This morning, on eBay, they had a used copy rated "good" (Not "like new" or "very good") at $270.00.

    This quote from the first page of the text goes a long way to describe it :

     " 'Presentation" is a book for fly fishers of all levels.  It offers a solid foundation with extended learning opportunities for the introductory angler while giving those of intermediate abilities a host of stream and lake tactics upon which new skills can be built.  The accomplished fly fisher will find numerous ideas that hone long-established techniques and that provide a basis for experimentation into new areas."  *

    * PRESENTATION, By Gary Borger, 1995, ISBN 0-9628392-5-6, p. 15.
