Darrell,

I'm afraid they have no site. You/we have to go through Amazon. I have ordered many books from Bray and I can't fault them. I don't even have a tel number for Bray Books, but you can contact them on the Amazon site.

Hope this helps.

I received the book this morning. It came from Caroline Hartley Books via Amazon. Very impressed with the speed of delivery, the book is in excellent condition too. Well done!

Thanks for the heads-up too John. :t:

Well, you may have to wait a while yet. I doubt they issue bargains as long as the series has not been completed. And that's still more than 6 years off. So, is it worth missing out until your vision may have faded?

But I agree on the feeling you mention. It's happened to me several times.

Go to Amazon.

Books.

Search. Type in Nightjars.

There you will find Bray Books.

Contact this seller.

Ask them your question and they will contact you. Or place your order.

Thanks John. Unfortunately, Bray Books only mails within the UK. But there are others who do send abroad.

This setup does not allow for a quick overview on which books are on sale, however. It only works for specific searches. OR, of course, with a little help from BF friends! :bounce:

Just got my ebcc atlas off amazon, from bray books. It was their last one, and slightly scuffed at the edges. To compensate for the book not being 'mint' (although I had to look hard for the scuffs) they sent me a free copy of starlings and mynas,a helm identification guide, worth 32 quid! Im more smug than mourinho right now.Although maybe not after 2moro night.....
