HANDBOOK of the BIRDS of the WORLD question (1 Viewer)

[Agusto1999]

I have an incomplete set of Handbookof the Birds of the World. Excellent condition.

Volumes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 all unopened, still in original plastic wrapping!

Volumes: 1-9, 11, 15, 16, and Special Volume.

Missing volumes: 10, 12, 13, 14



My sister-in-law, Mary Gustafson, passed on a year ago. I’m guessing she loaned out the missing volumes. She was Cleveland Heights born and raised, later moved to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to continue her devotion to birds. Known world wide because of her vast knowledge and willingness to share, teach, and truly love all things birds. Her home in Texas had thousands of books. These made the trip to Ohio and I’d love for someone nearby to own them.



I’m hoping to sell all volumes together. I am in the Toledo Ohio area and willing to drive these books to you, within reason.
Asking a gas fee, which will be much less than shipping. Each volume weighs between 8 and 10 pounds.



Is there any interest in these beautiful books? What might be the best website to sell?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.



Happy birding!

Best website to sell? Sell individually?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ornithology Book Classifieds group on Facebook is probably worth a shot. Two complete 16-volume sets and several individual volumes have been up for sale in that group in the past two years. I would also put it up for sale on Ebay.

Thank you CaliSteve! I was hoping to avoid eBay. I’d rather someone get a better deal than eBay getting all the fees.

YOu could always post it in the selling forum of this group - very few people will think to check this thread for items on sale
