"The Scream Of The Reel" by Jack Pollard

[slyman]

G'day folks, is anyone familiar with this book?

My future brother in law picked up a first edtion copy of this from an RSPCA thrift shop, he paid $2 for it.

First edition was published in 1966 and was in hard back with a paper sleeve.

This one he picked up is in pretty good condition with the paper sleeve, I would have thought it would be a collectors item and worth a bit more than the $2 he paid for it. I think that the shop may have not known what they had and that he has scored a good bargain here.

What do you reckon?

Hi Slyman,

yes it is a collectible but not worth a fortune I am afraid. Here is a site with a various copies of the book for sale;

An excellent book by the way. I have a soft covered copy somewhere in my collection.

Cheers

Cheers Dave, had a look at that link and it shows a couple of 1966 editions for around $30-35, which isn't a fortune, but still it only cost him $2 so I guess you'd have to be happy with that

Some good stories, read it in the 80's,Think I can vaguely recall one about a guy catching a giant GT on a cockatoo for bait.! Greenies might not like the idea today

I have one as well which Suzi picked up for me at a garage sale some years ago. She paid next to nothing for it. It's a good read for any fisho.

Cheers
