Need help finding some books Empty Need help finding some books

Post by Shisa Tue Jan 27, 2015 3:36 pm

It's for my course.
If I order them, they has to come from the UK and will take 14-21 days to arrive.
If someone could maybe find them for me and courier them to me I could have them quicker.
I will obviously pay for everything.

Around 50-60 pounds for both books works out to a fair price for me.

Animal Cognition: Evolution, Behaviour and Cognition by Clive D.L Wynne and Monique A.R Udell
2nd Edition, Palgrave Macmillian. ISBN: 9780192853929

The Domestic Dog: It's Evolution, Behaviour and Interactions with People by James Serpell
1995 or newer edition, Cambridge University. ISBN 9780521425377

If anyone can help. If not - not the end of the world. I'll just have to find some patience laughing

The cheapest I can find is about £65 for both, plus postage to me & then onward shipping to you!

Thanks for that Caryll. I have 1 more place that still has to come back to me, so fingers crossed.

They sound interesting, but I'm guessing that they are quite scarce, hence the price.

Yes and they're veterinary/scientific textbooks, have to come from the U.K blablabla..
I've been bitching the whole morning that the people that run the course should keep 2/3 of the textbooks on hand and for sale as they're so bloody hard to find!

BUT: I have found the most important one and it'll be here in 6 days so YIPPEE!!!

Thank you so much for your offer of help. I appreciate it. hug

I've downloaded a load of interesting free books today.

It's recommended reading and not pertinent to the course so I've found some similar books that should give me the needed background.

The first one I've found on Amazon for just over £21, if you want me to buy that and send it on to you? It's a paperback - does that make a difference?

Started reading Animal Cognition: Evolution, Behaviour and Cognition by C. Wynne & M. Udell
What a brilliant book. They wrote it very well, actually a easy, light read for a 'sciency' book.
If you're interested in the subject it's well worth the effort of finding.

The Brain book was hard to read although only an introduction.

That's the problem with books - there are so many but not enough time to read them.
I have 100's of books but I keep downloading more just about every day.

The aforementioned book is fascinating reading though.
