Selling books, I am able to purchase them at wholesale price. Earlier this year I purchased a few copies of Handbook of the Birds of the World Volume 16, one for myself and others for a couple for friends. However, one person is unable to take the copy. If anyone is interested in it, they can have it for what it cost me – $275, plus postage. Normal retail price here in Australia is around $430 plus packing/postage. I am able to take Mastercard and Visa – also Paypal. (Permission to post OKd by Russell)

And can someone explain why volumes like these are are still being produced as physical volumes? I would buy them if they were available as CD ROMs or as acess to a website where the infroamtion was, but I haven’t the space to store huge volumes like these.
(And also why hasn’t anything been done about turning HANZAB into CD-ROMs or a subscription website yet?)

Hi All,
can anyone explain to the me the retail price in Australia? Cost to buy directly from Lynx Edicions, the publisher, is 212 euro (approx $270 plus shipping), so how is $430 justified and/or sustained?
Cheers, Ian
