>First, I want to say that there is no selfish interest in the mentioning here of the planned LTD Edition (signed and numbered) hardcover volume of "The Classic Dry Fly Box"--100 classics from Coast to Coast--with brief notes/anecdotes/history. I'm donating 100% of the royalties to the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum. They need all the cash they can get right now. There are roofing issues, repairs, general needs.
> Release Date: I have a short mtg. with my publisher this week. A November release was planned, in the timetable, but the "exact" date isn't known. I'll try to get an update from them.
>Price for the LTD. Not sure, but I'll ask and update again. Again, my royalty is $00.00 per copy. So, if you do get one (the LTD is just that-- very limited) please consider that it's a fundraiser, and the purchase monies will go to a good place (that way, you can justify the purchase to your significant other)
>Pre-Ordering. A common question. I'll ask them about it this week, and get back to you. I'm certain pre-ordering will happen.
> "Trade Edition": Yes, beyond the LTD there is a "trade edition" planned, but probably paperback.
Thank you, CJ, for passing on the word. And thank you all, for your interest!
