Or to give it it's full name.
'Handbook of the birds of Australia, New Zealand and the Antarctic'
I'm currently trying to amass the 7 volume set but it is ridiculously expensive, I so far have 1 to 4.
What I'd like to know is why is it so expensive, ok it's out of print but so is 'Birds of the Westerm Palearctic' by the same publisher but this costs peanuts by comparison?
There are relatively few offered for sale so is it simply rarity, were there so few printed? I just hope that after I've got them all that they don't do a cheap reprint!
