I'd say, keep it, read it BUT keep it pretty nice, as it looks...someday, someday...you may part with it and should do so at a maximum.

I used to be interested in restoring vintage small appliances, specially Hobart and Sunbeam Mixers and managed to score a repair manual for all Sunbeam small appliances...this was the one certifid repair guys got with schematics ect...

Anyhow, nailed it at a local auction for about 6 bucks, read it, used it for about 3 years and then sold it for about 250.....that 250 funded my first Fly fishing purchases!

Don't always go the eBay route, offer up to "known interested" groups and ask for a fair price...you'll get it!

Hi FA69,

Strangely enough I have exactly the same book (cover and all) in the same edition. I think mine came for free with a Garcia fiberglass fly rod. 8T

How about this book from 1934:

I was given a copy of the '72 edition authored by Lefty Kreh by my mother-in-law a couple of years ago. Had been down in the basement forever? Anywho, took it with me one day on a trip to Baltimore, MD. Lefty was doing some book signing, etc. - his faced lit up when I showed him the book, even better when I asked him to sign it. He shared some back ground to those series....priceless fer sure!
