Noticeboard

 

Our great client and friend Denise Moore died in late July. Denise had an impressive library of bird books. I have offered to assist the family in selling some books. This set of the Handbook of Australian New Zealand and Antarctic Birds is in excellent condition. The asking price is $2300 for the set plus freight.  Please contact me if you are interested in obtaining this set.  email: patriciammaher@bigpond.com
