Complete set of "Birds of North America" available

[Pam Hunt]

Greetings all,

People familiar with Cornell's "Birds of the World" online resource may not necessarily be aware of its predecessor. The "Birds of North America" was a set of individual paper "life histories" for all the species breeding in North America, and was written by hundreds of authors in the 1990s through 2000s. There were over 700 of these printed, and as an author on two of them I got an entire set for free. But given the transition to the online (and updated) "Birds of the World," plus my upcoming move, I don't have the needs or space to keep my set. If anyone wants it I'm happy to arrange an in-person transfer (either delivery or pick-up, not worth shipping) at NO COST. Otherwise  it'll be destined for the recycling bin, but I'd love it to go to a new home - perhaps someone who appreciates the old pre-digital days and wants to add this to their collection.

The total set is housed in 18 cardboard slipcases that are about a foot tall. All lined up they occupy a horizontal space of 76 inches. 

You can see an set for sale at https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31767077313&ref_=ps_ggl_17738760402&cm_mmc=ggl-_-COM_Shopp_Rare-_-product_id=bi%3A%2031767077313-_-keyword=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17181841339&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjL3HBhCgARIsAPUg7a6niPlv5c_p-myKOeuQbd9t9Od42jmFMdww9Awrow9PvYkIrlcJerYaAoVFEALw_wcB, but remember that this one is absolutely FREE!

Interested parties can contact me at boid...@gmail.com. You have 4-5 weeks before I reach the recycling tipping point. Feel free to forward this offer to folks in other states that might not be on the NH.Birds email list.

Enjoy,

Well that was quick! I already heard from TWO interested parties, so the offer is off the table!

And while I have your collective attention, anyone in the birding community who has a habit of communicating with me via email should note this change of address. biod...@gmail.com (note the typo in my original post) will be my new address moving forward, and bio...@myfairpoint.net will be retired by the end of the end of the year if not sooner.
