Ecology and Natural History Books for Sale

The following books are for sale. However, a lot of them aren’t really worth the effort to sell and send by post, so I’d rather people picked them up in person if they happen to be visiting Hampshire. The prices I’ve put should be below the average of cheaper copies found on ebay and AbeBooks but do not include postage or packing. Please contact me (john@jnecology.uk) if you are interested in any of them and I will let you know what the total cost will be (I will likely send via Royal Mail or DPD). Note that some of those listed are older editions which have since been updated. Condition should be evident from the cover images (click the links), but I've sometimes added notes on condition in the comments. Please contact me if you need any further details.
