Their prices for other books are also extremely high. For example, CP
of the US and Canada by Shnell for $150 AUS, Allen Lowrie's Volume 1
for $350 AUS. I realize these are both out of print but.....So if anyone is
considering buying Darwins book at this price they should make certain
it is a first edition BEFORE.

BTW - on the subject of books - has anyone heard anything about Lowrie's
volume 3? Anyone seen it or know when it may be available?
