Marcel RUELLE is selling off his monographs

Paper by Marcel RUELLE

THE LAST COPIES OF SEVERAL MONOGRAPHS ARE ON SALE AT THE FOLLOWING PRICES:

Our monographs have received rave reviews throughout Europe – in France, Italy, Switzerland and even England. The Natural History Museum in Barcelona has just requested the complete series.

No one is a prophet in their own land, as the saying goes, and it is in Wallonia that they have received the most mixed reception. I have no intention whatsoever of setting myself up as a prophet, let alone as a great, enlightened scientist; I see myself quite simply as a skilled craftsman in the field of ornithology, and that is more than enough for me, as I have never let success go to my head…

Therefore, to fund two further monographs currently in preparation on the rest of the finches, I have decided, with the President’s approval, to sell the remaining copies at the following prices:

European Greenfinch: €20 instead of €28 plus postage

Great Tit: €20 instead of €35 plus postage

Cini’s Serin: €20 instead of €35 plus postage

Melodious Linnet: €30 instead of €40 plus postage

Crimson Rosefinch: €32 instead of €45 plus postage.

Postage for Belgium only: €2.95 up to 1 kg; €4.13 up to 2 kg. For international deliveries, postage is €4.88, €9.03, €13.18, €17.33 and €21.48 for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 books respectively

Books can be collected from my home with no postage charges. Hurry, as stocks are running low. The books that are out of stock are always the ones in highest demand. For example, in France, the last remaining copies of *The Goldfinches* and *The Bullfinches* are selling for €65, and people are paying astronomical sums to acquire *The Tree Sparrow*, *The Crossbills* and *The Goldfinch*, even in Italy and Portugal.

I remain at your disposal. Kind regards.

Marcel Ruelle.
