Sale of old European zoo guidebooks

[Baldur]

I am in the process of selling the rest of my zoo guidebook collection to finance my migration. That I began doing last week by sending a weekly list of 10-12 guidebooks to all zoo ephemera collectors known to me. They also got a catalogue with information about and cover scans of all the 85 guidebooks I will be selling until early June.

I know many zoo ephemera collectors but of course not everyone. If you didn't receive a list from me last week but would like to, please send me a PM on Zoochat with your email address and I will send you this week's list as well as the future ones. I used to sell on eBay, some of you may know me from there.

The guidebooks are all European, published between 1909 and 1969 in the following countries:

Austria
Belgium
Czechoslovakia (from the part that is present-day Czech Republic)
France
Germany
Holland
Italy
Poland
Russia
Spain
Switzerland
United Kingdom
Yugoslavia (from the part that is present-day Croatia)

Many are rare (such as from former Eastern Europe and Russia) while others are that plus from long-since closed zoos such as:

Belle Vue Zoo Park, Manchester – The United Kingdom
Maidstone Zoo – United Kingdom
Marineland Morecambe – United Kingdom
Napoli Zoo – Italy
Torino Zoo – Italy
Wassenaar Zoo – Holland

Anyone from any country is welcome.

Hi Keeper, sorry but only one, Barcelona 1962. I never had a big collection from Spain and the few others I sold some time ago.
