15th Sept 2008..A lifetime away. Only an occasional visitor now carping has lost a lot of the spark it once had

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.

A written assurance Terry himself would hand deliver it?

I thought £63 seemed cheap.. too cheap perhaps? Given that the seller hasn't given a description of the book that most true booksellers would provide ( only quoted the sleeve/back page) suggests they either don't know what's expected or it might not be as tidy as expected.

Just looked at the ad. Only 1 pic of front cover. No description of book itself apart from '1st cass' I person's idea of 1st class isn't always everybody's! Ideally it needs more pics ..back cover, spine ,inside leaf etc. Any discolouration to top of book?? It's all a tad vague tbh

Hi all. As per title
Looking for a copy of Terry Dempseys book. How much should I expect to pay for a good condition copy? Realise there was only 1 print run but don't know how many copies were printed hence it probably commands a premium.

Managed to find a Med Snugpac SJ12 for £115 Inc carriage the other day. Similar to the Sasquatch but a tad heavier/warmer...perfect for me as I hate having too many layers on. Had wanted a Sasquatch but green ones in Med are hard to find.. i guess its the most common size I guess? Found a couple in Multicam but I don't like the pattern!

Jim ' uncle' Shelley.... hardly unknown for bans himself ! Whose ear has he been squeaking in now??

Hi. As per title. After some peach & BP popups that are v similar to the Whacker Catcher baits. Had a couple of tubs but down to last few baits. Tried Sticky's version and it's not a patch on the WC baits. Any help appreciated

Hi all. As per title Bit of a bolt out of the blue this, but it looks like the shareholders have cashed in basically. Been a coule of small announcements on FB last few days. Leaves just the Pro lite shop in Luton or AD in MK as the major players in the area with Go Outdoors chasing their heels. The Agriculture side is being relocated to a couple of other smaller units out of the area. Having read Bobco are going does leave me wondering where this is all going to lead...sad sad state of affairs when independent dealers who on the whole provide top notch customer service go under etc leaving us with the impersonal samey samey monster AD is with the monopoly on angling shops.
