Here are some good deals on Amazon.com. You can hover over the link to check the current price.
I’ve been watching the prices on these books for a little while and they have been steadily decreasing. They are all at least 50% off the retail price. However, I’ve seen some prices shoot back up to the “normal” range with no warning (in fact, one of them just did so today before I could post this). So if you see one you want I would suggest jumping on it. If it drops further after you order you can request a price adjustment within 30 days of the shipment date. I’ve done this a couple of times, and it’s quick and easy.

The Seabirds book by Anthony J. Gaston is a wonderful book. I read it two years ago. I consider it a must read for everyone interested in Seabirds.

Thanks Markus. I ordered a copy for myself, and am looking forward to it (although it must wait its turn, I’ve got a huge backlog of books, but what else is new?).
Update on the prices: Some have been lowered since I posted this, especially Fifty Places and Good Birders. But as I mentioned, one book that had been on sale (The Magic of Cranes) went back to normal pricing just before I posted this. And Club George, which had been available for at least a couple of weeks, must have sold out and is no longer available.
These are very good prices - take advantage of them while you can!
