| Why not? It seems a pretty sensible decision on the part of Collins rmarketing department, as eBay is probably one of the most important sales channels for the out of print New Naturalists and so an obvious place to market the POD editions to worldwide customers. As far as I am aware, Collins have always sold these directly to the final customer, so they're not treading on anyone else's toes. I guess the only vendors with anything to worry about are those that are attempting to sell PODs as first editions at ridicuously high prices - anyone for British Game (eBay item no. 140436612699) or Wild Flowers (140436612649) at £112.03 each? There are others at the same price from the same seller!! Regards, Bill

New to this so apologies if this is in wrong place :-
My mum has always been interested in botany and zoology. She got three books years ago from a library sale and I wonder if you'd be interested in them.
The books are :-
'The Badger' by Earnest Neil, 1971 reprint, published by New Naturalist
New Naturalist vol 38 'The World of Spiders' by W.S. Bristowe, first edition
New Naturalist vol 46 'The Broads' by E.A.Ellis also first edition
They are not mint but in reasonable condition.
Dave
