Oddly enough, the sale catalog just came in from

Edward R. Hamilton, Bookseller
Falls Village, CT 06031-5000

and they list the entire series from WW Norton in hardback at $15.75 each..
reg. price is $22.50...not a big saving which signals that they must be a hot
item..perhaps they'll be available in paper at some point..

While I'm at it, the last catalog listed Pete Dunne's *Feather Quest*
(I bought 4 for Xmas gifts..sorry, they're all designated already)
at $4.95 each..hardback pub at $25.00...much better deal...some of you
might be familiar with Dunne's *Low Rent Birder*...

Hamilton will send a free catalog on request...there are, not infrequently,
birding books at a good price..hard back life lists, etc..most books are
20 - 40% off..and sometimes they give 'em away (like FQ)
