Bird Book collection

Postby David Riddell » Mon Jul 31, 2023 5:04 pm

Hi all
A friend of mine has recently been given the task of finding new homes for a collection of bird books following a bereavement. Ideally he'd like to see them kept together, and is prepared to deliver them to within a couple of hours' drive from Hamilton. He has no fixed price in mind but would appreciate a donation to go to the former owner's son. There are some rare and quite valuable editions among them, including a Buller's Birds in very good condition. If anyone is interested send me an email of personal message via this forum. Possibly could be of interest to a university, library, museum or school? Pictures of most of the books below. Other books are:
Eagles, Hawks and Falcons of the World Volumes 1 & 2: Brown & Abadon
Australian Parrots and Cockatoos: Prince & Cayley
