Some very small in pages but still expensive (at auction) small production run books (ie 50 copies only) such as "ABU/Record Beten Fran 40 till 80 Talet" by Urban Westblom and Goran Magnusson are very expensive and cost up to $200 each. I believe there is a possibility of a reprint some time and urge your purchase of this wonderful bait/lure resource. I will confirm this when I can contact the authors.
