Knowing Bass: The Scientific Approach to Catching More Fish

joedog · 01-11-13, 09:19 PM

I'm looking to buy this book.
But...

1. when searching I was amazed at the price. I've seen them go for like $17 all the way up to like $100. And this is the paperback edition, not the hard cover. Plus the $17 was used.
Hard cover...like a $150

2. Who's read it? And is it any good?
3. Is it 'out of print'?
4. Anyone want to sell their copy. If so how much? Please base your price on selling it to ME, not the prices I quoted.

Ebayers even want big money.
If someone knows where to get one other than Amazon, please let me know.
When doing a search, it's listed but when you go to buy...everyone seems to be out of them.
So anglers, is this thing worth the money folks seem to think it is?

I have a copy you can have for the price of shipping.....just pm me your name and mailing address and send me the postage when you get it. Mac

This is not the only book that shows up with crazy high prices that make no sense.

I have the book and have learned some things from it, although I haven't read every word. He goes into more detail about the biology than I have the patience for, but it's still a good addition to a fishing library, even though Mac's willing to part with his copy.

Joe when you get the book call me up each night and read me a couple chapters till I fall asleep.

joedog · 01-13-13, 07:20 PM

First and foremost I want to THANK Mac.
I truly do appreciate your generosity!

Now for Bob...

,

be carefull what you wish for.

and Marty,
You know I NEVER over think ANYTHING!

Thanks Oko, I may give her a call.
I think Mac and I may have a deal.

islandbass · 01-18-13, 03:04 AM

If it's the one by Keith Jones, okoboji is spot on about it being a good read and a reasonable price. Any more than that would be highway robbery, lol.

Dogmatic · 03-29-19, 07:46 AM

Anyone have any leads on this book for a reasonable price?

senkosam · 04-23-19, 07:36 AM

Most sources are over $20.
