John Sheweys Spey Flies and Dee Flies: Their History & Construction

I don't know how this happens but this book is priced out of the stratosphere on all the book sites! $500.00 for a paperback?

Wish I never opened the one I have, its well used and loved though:chuckle:

Book prices you see on those sites are speculative, at best.

While there is limited supply of the books, most of them are priced out of the realms of the common angler/flytyer. Thus, I wouldnt guage the 'value' of the book based on those prices. Supply is limited, but at those prices, demand is also much more limited. I think you'll find if you monitor the price of a specific book over a period of months, you'll see the same book, from the same seller, time an time again. I.E. the books dont sell, because, well, they're grossly overpriced.

Having a Master's Degree in Econ, that made me laugh.

I don't even think about the cheque I'm going to write/send off any more. Found a Postie Notice on my front porch a few minutes ago, packet from England, I will have to go to our small Post office, sign the receipt.

Okie Dokie, tomorrow morning.
