[VFB] Re: Books are Expensive
i remember when Rare and Unusual volume's 1. 2. first came out in the 90's. They were $90 each..i paid a lot more than that for my copies. But the $600 dollar book is the Rarest of all 4 of the Ken Sawada books. i have all four signed. But The ONE is extremely hard to find and always very expensive. i actually coulda got it for $550.but the guy that had it, (Japanese cat named Kaz, who everybody up in the northeast knows as a very shrewd wheeler dealer), was himmin' and hawin' bout not really wantin' to sell it blah blah blash blah blah.so i just threw 'em $600 and took it, lmao. Didn't feel like listenin' to all the crap. Kaz deals in bamboo, fiberglass, reels, books, nets, and all kinna antigue and special Stuff. He's been around doin' all that for yearsand i knew he had the book..and i'd been lookin' for it for a few years. And it's not the kinna thing you find more than once. Soif you snooze, you looze. He use to bring the book to shows but never wana sell it. So finally i just decided it was mine. He got me, lmao. But i got IT!

That AK Best production book I just snapped up. Now, the next least expensive one on Amazon or Half.com is about $25-26 (at least from sellers I'd even buy from as the two others at $14 each are Amazon sellers and they lose half my books I order) and they go on up to about $95 like I said before. I'm sure the book is worth every dime and then some. It's just that it's hard for a Po Boy to get up much of a book collection these days LOL...
