I learned a few new techniques, but this book was a let down.

The author exposes the reader to different types of rotary tying machines and discusses each in turn. Then he ties flies on each explaining how to use the features to make your fly tying easier and faster. It's only natural that he is biased in some of the techniques but if you can ignore this, the book has a lot of good information for any level of fly tier.
