Aussie Finch Forum

I found the black one!
Thanks to Spanna for sending it all the way from perth!!

Lot of Reading There Jay.I got the Newest book and the Green Book for $75NZ on Trademe.I thought It was Bargain as it said on inside cover $130 AUS.And had no scratches or ripped pages or marks.Hope you Enjoy your reading.

Wow, that is a bargain!!! the red book is $132, the green is who knows, over $100 anyway AUD. Lucky you!!
Really looking forward to poring over the black book, i've been looking for it for ages!!

Enjoy it Jayburd.

One of the things you will notice is the difference in some of the species covered.
Some have disappeared and others have appeared in the time interval between the first and third book.

On of the first things I noticed on opening it was the article on purple finches - I wish!!!!

Still looking for the Green one myself. So congratulations on geting the full set. My black one was a Second hand book store bargain at $9.95 about a year ago.

Love bookshops like that XD

What prices does the black book fetch? I have hardly ever seen it for sale. However I just bought a 13 book lot overseas including the black one for $100. Unfortunately shipping 7kg of books cost almost as much again. I've also been looking for the green one but been told the current red one contains same info and more. Would that be correct? I suppose some collectors just want the entire set?
Thanks Winston

This was the second time I'd ever seen the black one for sale. The last time it was $400, also on gumtree.
I think the green book is the best of the three. The pictures may not be as super-fantastic as the red one, but it sure is easier to handle!

Thanks for the reply and review. I have a friend with the green book so perhaps we will just swap and share since I can't source one. Will have to get the red one while its still in print.
