[Old and Reliable]

You are most welcome George. Please check your PM on this site, I sent you the address of an area (NW Kent Co. MI) fly fishing shop that deals heavily in o.p. sporting books, and then owner, Glenn Blackwood- aka "Captain Carp", also will do a search for you. I sold my spare copy of the 1977 second edition (Larry Beinfield Pub. Co.) to Mark for an even $30- and it was mint. So I would say your $50 "ball park" sounds about as right as the mail. If I find one in that range and in VG plus to Mint, I will see that you get it posthaste.

Years ago I made the mistake of "loaning" my copy of the Peter Johnson Parker book to a former hunting pal. I found a replacement with DJ in VG plus condition at Mr. Black's shop, believe I paid $12.00 for it. Of course, some of the information the late Mr. Johnson had available in 1959 has been surpassed by what we know today, and in part due to the members of the PGCA who have devoted some much time and research to our beloved "Old Reliables"!!
