well this seems kinda strange. NAFAHH for less than the prepublication price?

Not really sure what's going on with the link. I am doing this from my phone. But, it's on eBay with a BIN price of $74.99 and shipping costs of $4.00. Wasn't the prepublication price $90.00 + shipping?

The guy is in Vietnam! :eek: I think this is some type of Ebay scam! Beware buyers!

Thanks for the warning, Fred! Lots of not-so-reliable folks out there. :(

Am really looking forward to receiving mine from Western Sporting - got a notice that they will be shipped out soon! Am thinking should be at the house by end of this month, or there abouts? I really miss my memory! :eek:

[rkumetz]

It is not a scam. He just made a mistake on the title. He is actually selling "Southeast Asian Falconry & Hunting Hawks". Geez. You guys are so suspicions and untrusting! frus)

[americansharpy]

Glad they kept Beebe's "The Nature of Predation" chapter. I also pre-ordered my copy.

Hi Ron,

I'd be very cautious about bidding. Check out his other items.
Anybody lifting all pictures and information from elsewhere, needs to be regarded with caution.
What I've looked at doesn't add up.

Best wishes,

Tony.

Hi Tony. That was my attempt at sarcasm. Anyone selling a book that has barely been advertised by "real" vendors on Ebay is clearly a scam.

How embarrassed am I to have read that as being serious:eek:

My apologies for ruining the joke, and hands up from this complete muppetpeacee

[skooky20]

I see that the price on the site has gone up to $99. so it looks like we should be getting the pre orders soon

[Breeze]

Received mine a couple of days ago. A buddy out in California received his a day or before me. I had not had time to really look through the books in detail. But he did, and he pointed out a mistake. Anyone else catch it?

Was the mistake sending it to your buddy in CA who has way too much time on his hands and who could read through a book like that so quickly? confusedd

[GONEHAWKN]

Not at all. This can be picked up on with quick thumb through the book. Let me just say, I LOVE the book/s. Not busting on it/them at all.

[wiplumber]

chapter one is titled as chapter three. the table of contents has it right.

Fabulously laid out book! I am on vacation next week. I will enjoy reading it in the morning with a cup of coffee on the lake! peacee

Hello All,

We have been going back through the files to see how Chapter One happens to contain a header from the wrong master page and can find no explanation. The files for this book are extremely complicated and we suspect a glitch occurred when saving the file resulting in the wrong header being applied. Certainly, our last printed proof was correct.

We also appreciate it being brought to our attention here on the Forum. The advance head's up allowed us to correct the problem. Thanks go to Bill Barbour.

The first group of books was shipped out to those who pre-ordered. Most were signed by Hal Webster who made a special trip down here to do so. They all contain the offending page. The remainder of the books in this edition of North American Falconry and Hunting Hawks are still at the printer. They are all being corrected prior to shipment to Western Sporting.

So, we now consider this small number of books in the first shipment, with the mistake, signed by Hal, to be collector's items.

I didn't respond to this Forum for a few days while we spoke to the printer about the options.

David Frank
Western Sporting

[Breeze]

Woohoo! Have a collector's item! peacee Accidental, but still very cool! Amazing read - totally enjoying the books. Thanks, Western Sporting!

[wiplumber]

I think those of us who received the signed copy of this book can overlook this small error in printing. Great book.

[skooky20]

out of curiosity how many had the misprint in them.

[GONEHAWKN]

Chris,
I THINK it was said about 400-450 were sent out like this. Maybe David can say more on this. As a book guy, i LOVE this book. I have several other editions too. Great job to David and all those involved.
