Default on ebay lets fish the clyde by robert sharp

As rare as hobby horse manure the little red bible of clydestyle fly tying secrets tatics and techniques serious fly tyers will appreciate the read alone and how it unlocks the secrets of the river there coutless books on fishing but there are none to match it in my opinion

its been my pride and joy but sadly i have to let it go
just bought a fishing shop and its crucial that i raise cash flow
gen reason for selling
thanks for reading

regards

Rare, I would say so. Me I would never part with mine, a signed copy & a hand written dedication to a Mr Wilson who assisted in compiling the book. How it ended up in my hands from it's beginning I would love to know. Would rather get rid of the missus first. Lets see what it goes for. Old bookshop online lists one for £100 so you may be lucky. It really goes down to who sees it. Still a list of how many are watching (have it bookmarked ) is a good indicator. Bought a first edition Reid, wont say how much but Morgan bless his little cotton socks brought out a reprint 6 months after I bought one from him, despite me making enquiries to the publisher if there was ever to be a reprint.......get your lucky white heather here.

PS Might be an idea if you posted the link to it. Forum people are notorious lazy b-----ds & want everything done for them. I can't seem to find the listing though & I am not a lazy B

No I am the rightful owner I just wondered the train of events that led it to me before I bought it. Still can not find your listing on E Bay by the way.

Thanks Brennan, nae wonder I could not find it.
Seller, I would think carefully about where you list it. Not that it is a bad listing but other categories might be better. You might want to think who you want to target.......Just a thought. I got the impression you had "just put it up" but the listing is nearly over, smacks a bit of desparation & the high starting price may well put some off. It's no easy is it selling. Good luck anyway you might get lucky.

I saw that book a week ago or so in a backstreet bookshop in Dumfries. Although the book has only about seventy pages it looked quite a snip for a hundred. But I ended up with a different read from another place so saving up again now.

Your audience awaits, so let's see some of "your groups" stuff Always nice to see something other that a Buzzer, Blob or Dabbler. Pity about the book but I did say.
