Tried eBay Annie?

Don't forget that you shouldn't just check out items located in the UK, but items available to the UK as well - ie: sellers from europe and abroad.

Yeppers Ralph, done that, zero on the searches :( Will give it another go though.

I've just done a Google search on the 'European Passerines' book and it threw back lots of results..... I'd expect the first title to do the same.
Good luck,
Andy B

Annie, Neither of your two wanted books are on ebay at present, but I have been watching for a year now looking for my particular RSPB Guide. I have never seen your first request The moulting of Passerines, but I feel certain that I have seen Larssons European Passerines on ebay around October November time last year. Keep looking if I come across it will contact you.

El Annie · Tuesday 11th February 2003, 18:30

Thankyou very much everyone for your helpful contributions to my hunting!! I now have a copy of Svensson's Passerines thanks to the kindness and generosity of TOny! I have abandoned Moult and Ageing because not only is it hard to get hold of it is also very expensive so I have settled for the BTO's Moult in Birds. Added to these I now have Bakers Non-Passerines and the Ringers Manual so I feel that on the book front I am now well equipped! Just got to get round to reading them all now........................

Annie :)

El Annie · Tuesday 11th February 2003, 18:31

Jayhunter which RSPB guide is it that you're looking for??

Annie :)

jayhunter · Thursday 13th February 2003, 05:38

Hi Annie I posted it in the Books forum a couple of weeks ago, it is the common RSPB Guide, dated around 1993-5 the cover is a Robin in Ivy illustrated by Hilary Burn. I purchased the original Art work from a Tunicliffe exhibition a few years back, and would dearly like a copy of the book it was painted for.

El Annie · Thursday 13th February 2003, 07:11

I'll have a hunt around our s/h shops!

Annie :o)

jayhunter · Thursday 13th February 2003, 07:34

Thank you Annie, any new town I happen to visit, I dive into the second hand bookstore imerging much later dusty and frustrated. As a Yorkshire lass you may be able to help me, one of my favourite haunts in York was the bookshop on Stonegate. It was on three or four floors, the top was called "The Cockpit" and was purely for aircraft books. Last year I walked Stonegate from end to end countless times and couldn't find the shop. Has it gone or have my bearings (navigational) gone!!

El Annie · Thursday 13th February 2003, 18:15

Mmmm don't go to York a lot but I have friends there and I will check this out for you. How long ago is it since you last went to it??

Annie :)

El Annie,

You could try one of the largest second hand book stores in the UK at http://www.barterbooks.co.uk/

If you email them they will let you know.

El Annie · Thursday 13th February 2003, 20:15

Thanks Steve, I didn't know about that one I will check it out on Jay's behalf :)

Annie

They are really nice people and really eccentric. It's the old converted railway station in Alnwick, one of those places you go into expecting to spend ten minutes browsing and end up spending an hour!

Jayhunter as you live in Cheshire look out for a guy who does all the bookfairs\craft fairs etc. in the Greater Manchester region. I met him at Buxton craft fair in January, he is always at that one. He specialises in bird books and general wildlife books. I spent two hours at his stall before coming away with "Birds of Britain" edition 1907! Mention "Paul from France" and he might knock you a couple of quid off!!

jayhunter · Sunday 16th February 2003, 05:18

Thank you for all your help, will try the fairs, also the website. Annie it must have been five years or more since I visited the "Cockpit" the good thing about it was you could leave requests there and the owner would contact you when he managed, to find what you wanted. The last book he got me was on the Hawker Hunter, being ex RAF I am interested in anything that flies even lizards in South East Asia which technically only glide!!

jayhunter · Monday 17th February 2003, 10:08

Annie I have found the book I am after on Ebay today, so I hope I can win the bidding. Thank you for all your help.

The best site for second hand books by far is www.abebooks.co.uk which is linked to thousand of second hand shops
