I'm the worlds worst for selling books that go up in value after. So glad a sale on cemex forum years ago fell through for ss1 and 2. Apparently asking for £40 posted for the pair was too much. Still got them in mint condition (along with ss3) might be going on eBay next £1 listing weekend.

I sold mine for £200 plus postage on Amazon. It was in good condition but not mint. I currently have a different carp book on for £499. I have no idea why people want to pay these prices but it's fine with me.

Anyone else noticed that carp books are increasing in value again? Especially the rare ones eg Waddle, Micky Gray etc?

I can't see the attraction in owning them. I've photocopied hard to get books in the past, read them once put them away and maybe get them out once in every other blue moon.
I've not read these journals I assume they are a good read but the main attraction is actually owning them rather than what's in them? If not wouldn't people be happy to read a photocopy?

Yes I get that but wouldn't a good quality photocopy be a lot cheaper and almost just as good?

Depends on your point of view really. If you just want to read an article for the information it contains or a great story, then a photocopy would do the job fine. I've bought pdf back copies of magazines before now when they had recent articles about fishing Redmire in them, as part of the prep for a ‘once in a lifetime' trip there a few years back.
For me the Subsurface journals are something a bit different though; the aesthetics of them being printed on decent paper stock that does the incredible photography justice, the experience of reading print... It's got something more about it that deserves finding a quiet half hour with a brew when you need a fishing fix but can't get out.
I'm waffling, but you get the gist. I wouldn't pay big money for a copy, but I can definitely understand why some people would 👍🏻

Maybe it motivates the odd person to push themselves harder and they end up catching more as a result, but I couldn't disagree that the investment doesn't directly put fish on the bank..
However, if was all about just catching we'd all be fishing puddles for fat stockies; although nowadays I quietly chuckle to myself at people who genuinely think they are ‘cool' within the carp fishing scene (which is like two dwarves arguing about who's tallest - the rest of the world thinks we're all sad and weird anyway), carp fishing does have a heritage worth celebrating and we're often treated to nature at its best, so I can definitely see the attraction of books like this 👍🏻

I must admit I enjoy reading them, but I think you've got a point, I enjoy owning them just as much. I must have 50 plus books, some worth quite a bit by the looks of it too. Might have to be my pension in 30 years.
