We are happy to conduct searches for particular titles or to hold ‘wants lists’ if there are books you are looking for.
Eleanour Sinclair Rohde We have an interesting section in this catalogue of works by Eleanour Sinclair Rohde (1881-1950) who is perhaps most famous for her contribution to Herb gardens.
Fungi books Books from several collections purchased over the last year or so have been pulled together in our Fungi section.
New Naturalists We believe that there will be one more main-series title published this year. The next book will be NN. 118 Marches (by Andrew Allott) dedicated to the area of land that forms the border between England and Wales. This work represents the first large-scale natural history survey of this unique part of the United Kingdom. Publication date is expected to be Thursday 1st September. We will charge catalogue customers £45.00 plus post (RRP £50.00) and if you would like a copy, do let us know. NN. 119 we believe will be Scotland by Peter Friend, author of NN. 108 Southern England. This book is expected to be published in early January next year. Lastly, Collecting the New Naturalists by Tim Bernhard and Tim Loe is expected to be published at the end of October this year. Not part of the main series (same format as Art of the New Naturalists), this book will be a detailed bibliography and history of the series. Our price will be £55.00 plus post (RRP £60.00). We will be ordering a small number, so please let us know in advance if you would like a copy.
We are always interested in purchasing large or small collections in our specialist subject area and are quite happy to travel to view.

[41667] £50.00 This new volume to the Helm library was written to update the British Ornithologists‟ Union‟s last full checklist, published under the same title in 1971. Since then there have been remarkable changes in both distribution and abundance of the region‟s birds. Some species have become extinct as breeding birds, whereas others have colonised and even become quite common; many of our most familiar have suffered critical declines withj changes in land use and climate. Many birds have appeared as vagrants, and many previous vagrants now occurr much more frequently. There has also been a major revolution in bird taxonomy. This book summarises all these changes. A must for the serious ornithologist.

Waydelin was admitted to the British Ornithologists‟ Union in 1920, but his membership was shortlived, and his resignation in 1922 may well have been connected to his egg collecting exploits. Later in the mid 1930s he ceased egg collecting and rejoined the B.O.U. (1934), but again his membership was shortlived and he resigned for the second time in 1936. An interesting historical account.
