First Edition Reading the Water - Hardcover
 

I have one, bought it on MV in 1989. What is it worth?

Thanks

it depends on the condition. Could be $100 - $150.

Check Abebooks or bookfinder. I got a 1st. edition autographed by Post there a few years ago for like $125.

Whatever someone is willing to pay for it......

one on e-pay last week , do a search , I don't think it sold and it was listed for 49.99 , no dust cover

I've seen signed ones go for $250.Bob was a friend so I got 2. Wouldn't part with either.Great read.

I got a signed one too. Good to see it's worth so much.

Shame he never saw it's popularity grow.

My favorite book ever. We make it mandatory winter reading for Vineyard rookies.

I bet I have read it cover to cover 20 times and I still love reading and learning from it.

Had a copy but one of my great danes ate it...always wanted to replace though...

have never read it ,,, I'm missing out ..

Sauerkraut is mentioned in that book several times, and the father who was too excited during a blitz at Gay Head to notice his son being washed away is this guy :rotf2:.

Oh ... I think I did pick that book up at Cutty .. was just thumbing through it and read a story about Allan and Bob Pond .. (the mass maritime meeting and Noman's) ,,, is that the book ?

Eddy, I think that book is Striper Wars (Sauerkraut is in that as well). Reading the Water is much more of a fun fishing story book about the glory years on the Vineyard.

I have a few hard copies, The best one I picked up was a signed copy in near perfect shape about 10 years ago for 125 bucks. Just a few months ago I bought one remarkable shape unsigned for 35 bucks, I could not believe it.


The best "signed" copy I have ever seen is Janet M's. Her copy has every chapter signed by every person the chapter is about (many with nice notes) as well as a nice note from Bob.

Other than bob's signature, the only other sign. is Janet's in my copy.

daaammm .. should be getting Allan's autograph . Maybe on a pair of purple rubber gloves .

WATCH OUT FOR THE

DUNE MONSTERS!

The other day Amazon had a first edition for just under $700. Amazing!
I have a first edition and wouldn't sell it for $700. Almost irreplaceable.
