I'm lucky to have a copy by the sound of it! It's a great book and actually one of my favourites.
I guess the decision you need to make is whether you just want a copy to read or a collectible version. I have hundreds of angling books, most carp related, and they have all been read and reread (some like the Urban Myth on multiple occasions). This means that they're a bit tatty but still readable! I have said it on this forum before, I don't understand why some of these out of print books cant be released as a kindle version to increase accessibility? Maybe an opportunity for Terry and others to earn a few more pennies and get their work out to a new audience...

I sold all my Angling books last year on Ebay as they were making mega money and taking room up in the office, im sure Urban Myth didn't do that well though.

Hi Tc actually I was after info rather than the book as I had already sealed a deal on a copy for just over a tenner more. This too is in VVGC ..it arrived today and upon inspection it was all the seller had said it was. No yellowing of page tops, no rippling or denting of dust jacket, spine still pretty stiff and secure. Even a signed dedication to the seller. I'm more than happy with it.. Will prob get read once then found a home on the Angling books bookcase.
Having a look through that list is an eye opener..some v good titles there. Am already on Little Egret mailing list and have had a couple of limited editions off there.

I have a few of those books the seller has up for sale. Can't believe the price of them. Some of them seem way of the Mark. There's a copy of Tels " Still Searching " for £70 odd quid. As far as I'm aware that's still available as new?? I thought the bottom had fallen out the book market. Obviously still a few people out there willing to pay top dollar for some of them.

Jeez I've got a few quids worth of books stashed away, although not in the immaculate condition of that seller.
I knew Waddle was worth a fair bit, but some of the others surprised me, especially the Eddie Price book.

2nd edition is available new. The one below is a signed 1st edition so not far off the mark.
Prices are actually down on books at the moment. Went through the roof during covid, like everything else, but the ones on the bay up for covid prices tend to sit there doing nothing now.
I moved house a month ago and had to box up all my books. Seven big boxes full. Couldn't believe it. They've filled a massive bookcase at the new gaff. Dread to think what they're worth.... loads of rare ones and 1st editions. I still pick most of them up from time to time to have a little browse.

Not long re-read urban myth. It is a good book. One I missed out on was nige sharps. I read a mates copy in a weekend years ago but never got myself a copy.
I've got loads stashed under the bed in boxes. New house will have a new bookcase for them though. It'll be a sad day when print is gone forever, can't beat a proper book imo!
