I have just received an email from the Kingstons and their book will be launched at the SA Seminar.
It is a big book(2.4kg)
It has 528 Pages, A4 size
Hard Cover covering 70 species and has 400 photos
It will cost $132 which includes gst
I have access to two spare copies so if anyone is interested come back to me.
At this stage I do not know how many copies have been printed but I dare say like most good bird books access will be
limited
