Default 1st editions for crimbo

My wife keeps asking me what i want for christmas as she keeps reminding me its getting nearer. Problem is I'm looking for a good 1st edition of either Oliver Kite, elements of nymph fishing or L. Baverstock, fly fishing rivers, both from the how to catch them series. I dont fancy getting them from ebay or amazon as they can be a little liberal with the truth about the condition. Do you guys know any other trusted book sellers that do mail order? Also any other suggestions for river/stream fishing that are classics?

Are pretty good but you pay top dollar.

They are good at calling book conditions correctly.

Hereward Books are a well established book seller although I haven't used them.

Kites book

Hereward Books | Elements Of Nymph Fishing

The first one seem to be private sale the second one is The Internet Bookshop UK. I haven't come across them before.
