The Flyfisher’s Classic Library has published over 100 titles since 1991 and has become acknowledged as the world’s premier publisher of out of print fly fishing titles.
BookFinder.com has just released their annual “BookFinder Report” on the 100 most sought after out-of-print books in America and Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley is on the list.
This is the book from the classic 1980's Yellow Pages TV advert which featured J.R. himself traipsing around London looking for his old book. Neither the book, nor J.R. Hartley actually existed at the time of the commercial. Due to the popularity of the ad, a spoof memoir by the fictional Mr. Hartley was published in 1991 and it's the spoof of the out-of-print book which is on the most sought after book list.

Richly illustrated by Peter Zaadstra with striking paintings and detailed pencil sketches, The Artist & the Fly Fisher is an artistic celebration of the fly fishers for trout in the highland waterways of Tasmania, Australia.
Since 1873, Hardy has included hundreds of salmon flies in its annual Anglers’ Guides. In this book Keith Harwood has chosen fifty patterns, which are representative of the history of the salmon fly and of Hardy’s association with it.
