Default Lets Fish Again by Bert Sharpe

With the weather being what it has been today down here Im stuck at home so decided to sort out my bookcase & came across "Lets Fish Again" by Bert Sharpe.
If you live or like me used to live around the Clyde Valley you will know bert was synonymous with the Clyde & The UCAPA.
Flicking through the book brought back many happy thoughts of my days on the Clyde & was wondering about his 1st book "Lets fish the Clyde" is this book still available in bookshops North of the Border & if so anyone know where?
Regards
George (Scot in Exile)

Christian you will have to kill me to get that book out my collection...lol, I have a lot of game fishing books that I have gathered over the years and lugged all around the world in my forces days but always nice to Reminisce on the older books,
I was amazed today how many books by the author John Roberts I had as I now class him as a friend through making floats for him and found yet another of his books in my collection today.
Thanks for letting me know Berts books are like rocking horse...... to get hold of.

Amazon.co.uk: Used and New: Let's Fish The Clyde Amazon.co.uk: Used and New: Let's Fish The Clyde

Unfortunatley the price reflects its scarcity. If I come across another one I'll let you know.JB

As the others have said, very rare. I have the first book "Lets Fish The Clyde" a signed copy with a dedication, which I will pass on when I turn up my toes but until that time it stays with me.
Would love to see the other book at some point so keep searching on E Bay. One never knows what comes up if one waits long enough.

I have both.
Had no idea that they're worth that much.
Not for sale though.

Im not looking at prizing them from anyone's hands!!! I was just inquiring if it was still available in print as I would like to read the "lets fish the Clyde" as I already own "Lets fish again" so thanks guys your posts helped me establish you have to die to get your copies....lol
I genuinely didnt know they were that rare these days, and nobody in their right mind who owns them would sell them.
I have a new lead from a PM I was sent last night.
Thanks lads.
