| For all my comments..i must say..its an excellent book! and because i like to obtain the signed copy from Collins. it can be a problem if i am out on the day the courier calls. but all said..i really would like to see an improvement in the quality inspection and packaging issues. i am sure that Alex is aware of these issues and will look into it as he has in past concerns. If this site never existed..it would be sorely missed by many of us that get a little irrate and upset at times when things dont go to right, and i hold my hand up that i have been one. but for all issues its still a great site for us collectors and for that lets be greatfull it does exist

Lee3764 (26/02/2010)
Hengus (25/02/2010)
It's the sort of thing I'd be perfectly willing to accept on a 5.99 airport paperback, but I'm afraid not on a £50 (well £46 inc p&p for this one) item like this where condition is a major factor in the appeal of the things....
Are they all like this, then?
Dear Hengus,
Try NHBS books in Totnes, Devon,as I paid £38.99 plus £2.99 P & P for each edition, making £41.98 in total which will save you £4.02 on each edition! They also get it to me before anyone else on this forum I think as I seem to have posted 1st on the last two editions.
Cheers,
Lee.

Haven't been on the new forum before. Impressed with Collins for the first time since......... can't remember. Received Books and Naturalists today and its a very good book. Only criticism is the lost opportunity to widen readership to antiquarian Natural History collecting by decision not to reproduce lots of photos of classic books and images. Instead we have lots on the men, the women, and their portraits. Overall a good stab however at the subject and many old friends (ie old books) a number of which I am lucky enough to have, get a mention.
The Leather edtiion is.......... amazing. Blown away by the DJ signed by Robert Gilmour on inner flap. Really feels worth the money this time, and exciting to hold..........
Micheal5 - are you my friend Michael E----ds ? Best to all Philip B.

| Hi Hengus, because I lost login details, so created another, and can't delete the previous - IT strikes again :-)

Collins (26/02/2010)
Hengus I will feed this back to the production team.
Alex
Collins
Who presumably (from the near 2 months of silence from 'you' on the issue) shrugged their shoulders, and thought 'so what'?
Just stay quiet and the moaners will disappear and accept shoddy goods? Is that it? At least we know thats what the 'production team' thought, I suppose.....but thanks for telling them, anyway.
