Huge source of info - Google books 17 Years, 11 Months ago  
Hi,

I just happened upon Google Books. They have scanned in thousands of fly fishing books and are searchable on the web: http://books.google.com/books?client=firefox-a&um=1&ct=property-revision&lr=&q=%22fly+fishing%22&ie=ISO-8859-1&as_brr=3

The books out of copyright are in full text. Books in copyright are "limited preview" which appears in many cases to be ommission of 10-20% of the pages at random.

I just killed an hour scanning fly patterns from books 100 years ago. Now to get tying some cow dung flies.

Excellent find, John. Can't wait to peruse the 'library'!
