hi all,
how much would one expect to pay for a copy of kingston's old book, Keeping and breeding finches and seedeaters?
and while on the topic, his even older book the complete manual for the keeping and breeding of finches?
Thanks,
J

Check if there are any available on E-bay or Amazon. This could give you a bit of an idea.

I looked up the National Library of Australia catalogue and apparently it's missing - know anybody in Canberra that's after this book?

On the other hand there is a copy currently listed for only $60 in Durban, South Africa on the Book Base site. Perhaps Monique could approach them but then again she is in Cape Town and she just might snap it up for herself at that price!

And here's one in Canada from Silvio Mattacchione & Co at $70

(by the way, the one that's missing wasn't me :lol: I promise!!!)
I used to get that thing out of the library every week... I was so upset when it went "missing".
