You can just send cash, checks, or Bear Stearns promissory notes to Amazon.com and pre-order there. If you live in Portland, I suggest this because the fly fishing books sell out of Borders and the like immediately. The local Borders-type stores have no way of communicating, apparently, to their national buyers that some authors have...um...local connections. That's been my experience, historically.
Anyway. I digress.
Northwest fly shops have usually ordered enough to meet demand, but, again, I have no idea how this is going to all play out if we're sending all of our money to the Federal Reserve for Christmas. So, pre-ordering is a good idea if you want to get one for Uncle Bob.

I'm pretty sure a brown trout had something to do with it. They're sneaky.
