Almost had a heart attack

[Jayburd]

I was wondering around the markets at the Kingston Foreshore today, and saw a book stall....
I'd seen it many times before, and it contained as usual several books such as "pigeons and doves of australia" and "australian parrots in field and aviary".
I was turning to leave, out of the corner of my eye I saw a green book - one which said "Keeping and Breeding Finches & Seedeaters" or the spine
nearly had a heart attack. I've never seen this book outside of private collections and libraries, and it was stolen from both the libraries that held it. It is in perfect condition, no marks or coffee spills on the pages or cover, binding tight, no marks on slip cover and all in perfect order!
Anyway, $54 later it's mine : D
Have spent a happy morning browsing through it, definitely one of the best books I know of, and it will have pride of place on my shelf!

A very good buy. Probably the best finch book ever written.
You will find endless imformation to help you along with the birds.
