In the Strip Mall the Fly Shop I work at is located, there is a Used Book store afew doors down. I have yet to go in the place, but I should someday soon....
Anyway Yesterday, while in the Shop A gentleman came in with two Plastic Grocery Bags.. I asked if i could assist him...
He mentioned that his Brother was Moving To Thailand from Idaho(that's a heck of a Change...) & was wanting to get rid of some of his Books... The Gentleman mentioned that the Used Book Store didn't want to buy them & He wanted to know if I'd be interested... Well I figured the Least I could do is look the Books over.....
"TROUT" by Ray Bergman... Second Ed. 1952 HB...
"JUST FISHING" by Ray Bergman... 1949 Hb edition
"Complete Book of Flyfishing" by Joe Brooks... 1970 HB Edition
"Rising Trout" by Charles K. Fox.... Second Edition 1978...HB
"Misadventures of a Flyfisherman" by Jack Hemingway, 1st. Edition, HB, 1986
Signed by Hemingway to some guy named Jim.......
I figured I could certianly add these to my Collection, so I offered $40...figuring the Gentleman would mention a higher amount & we could Haggle over the Price......
The Gentleman took the $40..........!!!!!!!! He stated that was more then he expected to get for them.....
I Scored Big Time!!!!!!
Before anyone asks....NO WAY am I parting with the Bergman Books... The others are of interest to me as well.....
The Gentleman mentioned that he would come & see me again as He Believed there were more books on Flyfishing & Fishing in his Brothert's Collection.... I can hardly wait!!!!!
