A neighbour is hoping to sell a large birding library he has collected over the years. He has several hundred titles (I don't have an exact count). He is looking to see if someone or an institution is interested in buying the complete library, but he is also open to selling individual books if anyone is interested.
If interested in any of the titles, or if you have an idea where he might look for the whole collection, call Henry at six-oh-four, 8five8-ninety-five forty-nine.
Here is only a partial list of books. There are some great titles and field guides not on this list. He has a couple hundred more than this. Some look quite collectible, including a signed Peterson.
