I apologise for using the chatline (where I am
aware that non-COG members participate and which many COG members do
not use) for advertising COG items for sale, but it wasn't until after the
cut-off date for publication in the latest Gang-gang that I was able to be sure
that the following books would be at the October meeting .
COG has been able to arrange to stock books from
CSIRO Publishing at a discount from the Recommended Retail Price (RRP). The
discount available will generally be in the range 30% - 35%. Because this
discount is so substantial and is unlikely to be available through other
sources, purchases of the books from COG will be restricted. For attendees,
the books will be available on the Sales Desk at each monthly meeting.
Purchases, by COG members only, can also be arranged by contacting
me on this email address or through the For Sale page of the COG
website www.canberrabirds.org.au
The newly-stocked CSIRO Publishing titles that will
be for sale at the meeting on Wednesday night, and their COG sale price,
are:
Kookaburra: King of the Bush by Sarah Legge -
$27
Herons, Egrets and Bitterns by
Neil McKilligan - $27
Wedge-tailed
Eagle by Penny Olsen - $27
Australian Magpie:
Biology and Behaviour of an Unusual Songbird by Gisela Kaplan -
$27
Tawny Frogmouth by
Gisela Kaplan (newly released in September) - $27
Shorebirds of
Australia by Andrew Geering,
Lindsay Agnew and Sandra Harding - $33
As well, and as members would have
seen in Gang-gang, copies of Penny Olsen's latest book "Glimpses
of Paradise: The Quest for the Beautiful Parrakeet? will also be available at
the meeting. It too is being offered at a substantial discount from the
RRP.
Again,
my apologies for using this forum for advertising purposes - but with Christmas
shopping looming (or already started), I wanted to try and give COG members as
much notice as I could of the availability of these
books.
