<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#202122;mso-ligatures:none">I have a complete collection of the Dover reprint of the Arthur Cleveland Bent Life Histories of North American Birds (see below, which indicates the original
publication date by the Smithsonian Institution). All are in very good to excellent condition, and some have never been opened. I purchased several of these from the Scottish Ornithologists Club while living in Scotland, and some have been printed in the UK
and some in Canada. All these volumes may be viewed online through various sources; however, these are printed works.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#202122;mso-ligatures:none">Before I put the series for sale on eBay or Craig’s list, I’d entertain a monetary offer for the complete set from anyone in the Tweeters community. As a small
bonus, I’d include the Dover reprint of Andrew J. Berger’s “Bird Study.” If you’re interested, please contact me offline at my birding email address: avnacrs4birds @ outlook.com (without the spaces (<:) ).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

which I’m considering parting with eventually.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
