As Rocky.Mtn suggests, go to your local library. If the book's not there, order it for free through interlibrary loan. Then photocopy the relevant sections. Simple, informative, and cheap. Or snap it with your phone. Even cheaper.

If Barry only knew his book would become such a collectable! Books like this are great to read right at the end of hard-water season (like right now). It get's you fired up for chucking string. After you spend a fortune on the book you will end up spending another fortune buying tackle, tents, 4x4s etc. so you are ready for the mighty trunk road. At least how it goes for me.
-It is nice to see that the trout pond at Heritage Ranch in Red Deer has been named the Barry Mitchel pond.

$1000 easy, based on the outrageous prices people pay for these.
I have a copy of Haig-Brown's A Primer of Flyfishing, 1st Edition (iirc) in dust jacket, with a note in it from the previous owner about Haig-Brown speaking at their club and a folded newspaper clipping holding some flies tied by Haig-Brown from that presentation.
