Brunswick, GA
Cleaned out attic and found the following VINTAGE fish keeping books. Keep in mind that with older books comes older information that may now be outdated. However, it is interesting to see how certain aspects of the hobby have changed over time. Most of these books have owner's seal embossed on the title page and possibly owners name stickered or written on cover or title page (or both). Most have been well read. Overall
condition is stated on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being as new. I have books on both Freshwater (FW) and Saltwater (SW) topics and some Misc. Shipping will be extra. I plan to ship USPS Book Rate. I can estimate postage if you let me know which books and your zip. (B/W=black and white, PB=paperback, HB=hardbound, w/=with, (?)=estimated publication date, DJ=Dust Jacket) Probably best to call dibbs as a reply to this post, then send me a personal message. I will most probably respond late in the evening. Non-CC paypal preferred. Thanks for looking.
