For those still looking for this book there are a few copies of the first edition now available on amazon.com. Thank you Bruce Richardson!

Shows there are two types in the world. Avaricious and suckers with too much money. How can a book be of such value ? Ridiculous, given the amount of info on the net.

They want USD 899.97 for it. Needless to say, my copy is going to chained and padlocked to my bookcase. I believe that the prices for books of this type on Amazon are priced on the basis of the laws of supply and demand, and the philosophy of “there is a sucker born every minute”. Carl Clifford

I’ve often seen that sort of thing, and according to this article, it happens because of automated pricing: “Amazon’s $23,698,655.93 book about flies” http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358 Peter Shute Sent from my iPad On 26 Jul 2015, at 4:19 am, Denise Goodfellow < goodfellow@bigpond.com.augoodfellow@bigpond.com.au>> wrote: I receive several requests a year for copies of Birds of Australia’s Top End. Unfortunately it is out of print. However, a visiting US birder, after a copy of that book, chased one up on amazon.com. While one, a new copy of the first edition, is probably out of most people’s price range ($US 2,595), there are some used books at more reasonable prices.
