What's wrong with a photocopy can't you get someone to do that for you?
I used to get books from the library and take them into work to photocopy.
Not been to a library for a while do they no longer keep fishing books?, they used to be able to transfer them from branch to branch.

Last few copies of Darrell's book to sell on ebay went for;
£169.99 (or best offer)
£128.00
£125.00
£44.00
£50.00
£86.00
£97.00
£102.00
Subsurface 1 recently sold for £88.00 & £56.00
Darrell's is one I really want to read but I can't bring myself to pay stupid money for it....  ....hopefully there will be another re-print at some point

Bloody hell. I’ve got the first Subsurface somewhere. I think it’s stored under my ottoman bed 😂 I’m never going to read it so if anyone’s reading this and wants it, I’ll take £60 before it goes on e bay 😂

Was that an inked postmark that Royal Mail do when they receive the item or a Business postmark that the company prints from their own machine? Maybe Calm prepared the item ready for postage on the 7th but did not hand it to Royal Mail for a day or two?
Glad I can't be bothered to read fishing books anymore seems such a kerfuffle.

I'd pay triple that and have in the past for a leather bound copy but not heard of leather copies of these being available.

Mine arrived yesterday, without any damage thankfully. The postage mark on it was from the 7th but didnt arrive till the 10th so its not all Calms fault as it was royal mail 1st class so guess its also the postal delays

Ordered mine Monday when the site re-opened. Had a confirmation email but no shipping email and no book as yet. Fingers crossed.

It is very much believable... The first Sub-Surface book and Darrel Pecks one regularly go for £75 plus...

Do you guys genuinely know anyone that would be willing to pay over £100 for the book on eBay? Seems crazy to me and I do wonder whether a lot of the bidding is fake on there which then encourages people to pay over the odds.
I haven’t used eBay for ages but seem to remember you can cancel the sale completely after the auction ends and just give an excuse of ‘item being damaged’ - I’m thinking if they get a mate to bid initially and they don’t get get any genuine bids after that point.
It just seems unbelievable to me...

There is no tracking on the book. It’s just chucked in a Jiffy bag and sent in the post with Royal Mail. Seen loads of people complaining about bashed up books. I’m waiting for another copy to be delivered that was ordered before the one I received 🤷🏻♂️. Ordered one for me first and one for someone else (delivered to their address) they got their copy but I’ve not got mine yet, but they were nice enough to let me have their copy just incase the other one doesn’t make an appearance
