Aussie Finch Forum

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

yes please!

im a collector of bird books (unintentionally ) and would love anything of his.

mainly finches i assume?

Yes please,Will defiantly have one.

looks like I've been beaten too it. if you happen to find another one somewhere though....

Pity that's not 2 spare crates of the book.
