Hi Paradoxus i would be quite interested in the Twycross Guide '89 if you still have it.I have got a London Zoo about 2005 guide for swapping if you havent got that and maybe a whipsnade one.

Hi Riziki, unfortunately I have already dispersed the majority of those guidebooks - including the Twycross '89. All I have spare at the moment are:

They Dined on Eland (1992) - the Story of the Acclimatisation Societies

and I might have a spare copy of Schomburg's Penguin Guide to British Zoos.

If you, or anyone else, is interested in any of these titles then please let me know.

All the best.

Mhale i would be quite interested in the Port Lympne guide books im guessing you may like some of my guide books instead?
Hope not to bother you
Also i would highly recommend Animals on View it is a brilliant book every Zoo-Enthusiast should have it! ;)
It may be a tad old but very interesting.
 
Hi Riziki,

You are welcome to the Port Lympne guide books. Which ones do you have? :)
 
Belle Vue Guides do sometimes occur on Ebay so i would look on there but they are very sought after and can reach to very high prices especially on bid due to the age and the collection.
Sorry thats probably not much help at all.
Regards
 
Hi Mhale,

Animals on View is yours. Drop me a PM with your address and I will post it to you this week. Could you send me a scan of the WMSP Lioness guide cover? I think this is the only one I do not already have.

Many thanks.
 
Hi Paradoxurus,

I couldn't send you the scan by PM because your inbox quota has been exceeded, so please find it attached here instead :) Sorry for the quality of the scan.
