I've never given any thought to collecting First Editions of Fly Fishing books. but after reading Jerry's post, I decided to go over my books this afternoon. I was surprised to find that I have 17 first editions, all from distinguished fly fishing authors/fishermen.I still have 50 or so books to check, but this'll do for now.
While I'm not interested in selling any of them at the present, I'd like to have a 'ball park" figure of what you think they might be worth. Would I be able to use an informal $ appraisal for insurance purposes? I have my guns and Classic Golf Clubs insured, so why not my books. You can do this on List for I'm sure there are others who would like to know also.
