Best for UK people, a WE Scott seal "evening" sporran £50.
Comes with a Pakistani "Hertiage of Scotland" sporran, for better or for worse.

Yes, you do. 
(buy it so I don't have to)

You saved me from buying "Setts Of The Scottish Tartans" by buying it yourself. My overflowing bookshelves thank you :-)

But it's such a handy book!
It's one I reference regularly.
Other frequently referenced books for me are
The 1819 Key Pattern Book (Peter MacDonald)
The History and Uniforms of the Scottish Regiments (Barnes)
Highland Bagpipe Makers (Campbell)
plus my Scottish Gaelic dictionary and Irish dictionary.

Well, I was on the verge of buying it. But as long as it went to someone who's enjoying it, all is well.
Your posts have lead me to purchase 3 dress sporrans and a Mackie balmoral. I was even dangerously close to buying a set of small pipes, even though I don't play and don't have time to learn. Thank you for leading me to beautiful bargains.
I'll have to look into those other books you mentioned.

That all depends on a couple things
1) are you interested in following the norms of Highland Dress, including the different modes?
2) if so, what modes of Highland Dress do you want to put together outfits for?
3) do you reject the Allen Brothers, and all of their evil works, and all of their empty promises? (Just kidding!)
For plenty of people the answers to #1 and #2 are "no" and "none".
But if the answers are "yes" and "two" then two sporrans would be a minimum in Traditional Highland Dress.
