The Country House: Classic Style for an Elegant Home

All in color! "Gibbs explains in detail the evolution of country style in the same way she examined the history of window treatments in Curtains and Draperies: History, Design, Inspiration
. Beginning with the middle ages and continuing up to the 20th century, she delineates the history of the country home, then proceeds room by room to explain how each room was furnished and how its function changed to fit the lifestyle of the inhabitants. Pictured is a formal style of grand country homes in England and the United States, unlike the cozy cottages found in the books reviewed above. Professional interior designers and students will find this an excellent sourcebook."--Library Journal

Instead of spending years learning the art and science of flyfishing by trial and error, lean back and let these experts tell you what they know. Start by going over your equipment, including rods, reels, leaders, tippets, waders, boots, clothing, and protective gear, to see whether you need to buy new stuff or just make better use of what you have. Next comes fly selection, and a valuable primer on "reading the water," with surveys of the sciences of limnology (the study of rivers, lakes, and streams), aquatic entomology (the study of waterborne insects), and trout biology. Then go outdoors for step-by-step lessons on casting and presentation. The best place for this book is your equipment bag! Sterling 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11.
