I too, must comment. Am a little more than half way through it. For me from my "Spey 101" experience or lack of it, to be certain, this Book speaks volumes. The color pics show the rod and line so well. I am impressed with this Book. Have seen where SOME MORE of my problems are coming from and what to do to correct them. Don't I sound like a little kid with a new toy? I feel like it. Just my$0.02. Best, Stiver

My Trophy Bride gave me Simon's Great new book, his limited edition, for our anniversary, today.

I have spent about 20 minutes scanning it.

It appears to be a superb book.

Exactly what one would expect from our Spey Bro, Simon!

ISBN stands for international standard book number and is the standard reference # for that specific book. If you go into any major bookstore or library they can quickly search that # and, lo and behold, "Simon Gawesworth, Spey Casting" comes up and you can see then if it is in stock and available, or search for it's whereabouts. Then you can try to explain to the bespectacled bookstore geek behind the counter what spey casting is, for they will surely ask

I am a decent, but not a good caster yet to give the reader of this post an idea of my ability. I am VERY enthusiastic about Simon's new book. The real accomplished caster might not show my enthusiasm. The pictures are wonderful, the descriptions clear, and at last all the main casts are categoried and nicely described. I did find one passage confusing and Simon promptly cleared it up for me via e-mail. On page 186, second column, the next to last full paragraph, last sentence, was not clear to me. Simon's e-mail read:" Good point, I should have had you as a proof reader. The perfect position of the nail knot at the end of stage l (not "2") should land on a point that is one rod length DOWNSTREAM of you (say 14 feet), AND five to six feet out into the current. Sorry that wasn't clear...." This book will be a classic.

Lets hope so, i've just ordered my copy a few days ago. This book has had some good reviews even though the critics will always find fault.

Your review lends me some comfort.

Every book published in the USA - and 158 other countries -- is given one of these number. "ISBN" stands for "International Standard Book Number". It is better than a title for identifying books. Use it on the large Internet bookseller sites to buy Simon's book if you wish.
