Most books will feature a color photo of the cover, and it often shows any flaws, such as a chipped dust jacket (DJ) or something else. Most of my books for sale are in Fine or better condition, and most have a DJ if it was issued.
This fly fishing book is scarce & hard to find.
There are some books in the $5-10 ramge, quite a few costing more than $20, and some that are priced from $100 up to $200 or more. All are accurately graded. and described well. There is a full seven-day return privilege providing the book is not as described, and is returned in the same condition as when mailed.
There are some paperback books but many are hardcover with dust jackets. A handful of books come in a slipcase or are leather bound. Some are limited editions, and one book is Extremely Rare and is limited to 26 signed copies and lettered from A-Z. This particular book is a special limited edition by Claude Pollington, and the going price is $175 plus postage. It is probably deer hunting’s rarest book.
What else? There are several books by me, one by my wife and two by my late twin brother, George Richey. He was as passionate about Michigan-made fishing lures as I am about buying fishing and hunting books. My Great Lakes Steelhead Flies is mint, and limited to 900 signed copies. It has been out of print for many years.
Want more? There are several books by Robert Ruark, including Horn Of The Hunter, The Old Man & The Boy, a wonderful copy of The Old Man’s Boy Grows Older and a great copy of Use Enough Gun.
The above Robert Ruark books are in stock.
There’s a hard-to-find copy of Bob Swinehart’s In Africa book. Another scarce deer book is Gene Wensel’s One Man’s Whitetails.
Looking for a copy of one of the scarcest of all original Derrydate Press books. There is a reprint copy of the first Derrydale Press book, and it’s by Eugene V. Connett 3rd called Magic Hours. I’ve only seen two copies of the reprint edition, and I own them both. Only one is for sale.
A reprint of the Magic Hours reprint is here.
There are some nice trout fishing books by the late Ernie Schwiebert. Interested in target archery, check out two books about the National Archery Association by Robert Rhode. Another very scarce deer book called Trailing Tips, and it was written by Art LaHa of northern Wisconsin.
There are books to suit almost any fishing or hunting interest who enjoy reading. It’s what I do, what millions of other sportsmen do, and because you are reading this blog, it’s what you do.
It’s been mentioned before in my ads but I will mention it again here. Email me first to determine the availability of any book on my list. Most of my books for sale are one of a kind, and if I sell a certain book early today and you order the same book this afternoon, it may not be available. I try to remove sold books from the list immediately, but a quick email will help and you. Don’t forget to tell me the author and book title when you offer.
A guy bought a book from me last week. He sent his name and address and a note staying “Send it” to me. Send what. I had to try calling but no listed number. I emailed him and got no reply. I sat on his check for three days before I heard from him. Too much wasted time and headache. An email is fast and efficient. Just ask me if such and such a booi is still available, and I’ll answer you as quickly as possible and will hold the book for seven days pending payment.
My mailing address is David Richey, PO Box 192, Grawn, MI 49637. Email me at <dave@daverichey.com> . If you have questions, ask before you order. My goal is to sell you a great book at a fair price, and hopefully that will make both of us happy.
