I am trying to buy the books "Asiatic Parrots and their mutations" by J.& Gj. Bastiaan, and "A Guide to Colour Mutations and Genetics in Parrots" by Terry Martin. These two books are suggested by EVERY SINGLE PERSON who knows what they are talking about when you ask questions about Indian Ringneck Genetics. I am an aspiring breeder of IRNs, I need these books. The second book I have found for sale, but am trying to find it for less than $200. Eventually I will cave and pay that price; probably next week. But the first one I CANNOT FIND FOR SALE IN THE USA. I am so frustrated. I am trying and trying to find this book for sale in US dollars, no luck. Why? It's available nearly everywhere else! Like for real, you can get it in Swaziland, but not here. I am not kidding. There is a website with a whole list of contact info for many countries and how to buy it if you live in them. Not the USA! I am beginning to contemplate asking all my friends if they know people in Europe, Canada, South America, Asia, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, who would be willing to buy the book and ship it so me. Oooohhh wait, only the places that speak English, because my Spanish skills are not QUITE at the level of super involved discussions of genetics, and my other language skills...do not exist.:54:
 
I'll check in my area. Might find it here.

Publishing rights vary country to country, you would probably be best off writing the publisher if you can find it, or as suggested, the author!
 
Thank you! I have his info now, I will email him as soon as I am sure I can afford to pay any price he asks :)
 
Whoopsadaisy!

Hey thanks itchy feet! The Martin book is MUCH more affordable on this site! But I think it might be against the rules to post the links here...

Unfortunately, the asiatic mutations book is by a different author... I already have this one :)
 
Whoops, thanks for that! All fixed.
 
Lol but really thanks, I was able to get the Martin book for $60 including shipping, which is MUCH better!
 
No worries.
I'd be keen on that first one too, and I am in New Zealand, so if we could find it I'd be happy to ship one over. Keep it in mind and let me know!
 
Can I pm you and trade email addresses so we can communicate more directly?
 
I've pm'ed you :)
