Book: The Butterflies of Hong Kong

[Sky Blue]

CM, quick, this is the best price I've seen from Amazon.
Contents wise better than C&P4 --> better specimen photo + early stage photo :)

Thanks SC. Yes, cheapest I have seen so far.

I have tried order this book from Amazon last time but the most (all?) sellers refuse to ship to this region. :(

Any idea?

[Sky Blue]

easy lah, apply a vpost ID & get them to ship to vpost usa, they will ship back to sg. If you want, I can order for you.

anyone else interested? may be I can make a mass order ;-)

[Sky Blue]

ok, I'll order one for CM? & another copy for my-self for backup (since so cheap), anyone else want to join the order? If I remember correctly, the overlapping species compare to SG is > 75%. So it's still very useful ;-)

Will close the order by tomorrow evening.

1. CM
2. SC

[Common Mime]

Yes SC. One for me.

Thanks.

[Cruiser]

SC, how much is the book? me interested too.

Hi,
I would like to have one too... price is no concern for me. Currently, I am depending only on the Sc Centre/BP guide and a chart from NSS to help me in id... which is why I am limited and tend to get the id wrong ;-)

[Sky Blue]

placed the order for CM & BJ :)

Alvin, the next avail one cost USD $180.00, not recommended to buy.
You may consider to get a C&P 4, most of us is also having a copy ;-)

[Cruiser]

thx SC.

Alvin C&P4 is a must have for local/Malaysia species, ~S$75?

[Common Mime]

Thanks SC... Cant wait to own it!

I heard it has more photos / info on the early stages?

[alvinsclee]

Thanks SC and Ben.
I will get the C&P4 from Nature's Niche bookshop. :cheers:

[Sky Blue]

haha, that usually will take abt 2 weeks...coz need to ship to US vpost address first then re-ship back to SG.

yes, a very comprehensive book with photos & info, the early stage photos just like those plate I produce recently. Infact I get the idea from the book ;-)

[Common Mime]

ok, thanks for the info and the lobang on how to ship it back.

In fact, i tried to order, then they dun accept, so i didnt bother to order again...

[Sky Blue]

... I am depending only on the Sc Centre/BP guide and a chart from NSS to help me in id... which is why I am limited and tend to get the id wrong ;-)alvin, you can also refer to the the "Most" comprehensive Butterfly Checklist (in term of butterfly species photo) from ButterflyCircle here (http://www.b-pals.com/butts/check_list.php?cl_mst_id=2&fml_id=0&img=Y).

All the photos are contribution from members :cheers:

[Common Mime]

Alvin, the next avail one cost USD $180.00, not recommended to buy.

SC, how much would you think it is worth the money spent for this book? Currently, ir is $161.50 (new) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0120802902/ref=olp_product_details/102-5078148-4397700?ie=UTF8&seller=). Am getting my friend to check out the price at his neighbourhood store too.

[Sky Blue]

haha, how much it worth? depend whether u want it or not, to non-butt lover, give them they also don't want...

seems like they have some copy selling at $132+ but compare to last time I bought ($69.95)... up to u to decide

[Common Mime]

It is like no end waiting for the good price. Since the USD/SGD is rather low now, hack liao!

Serious cat farmers should get this book. Quite a bit of good information in there, and good photos from egg to adult, inclusive of host plants and parasites.

CM, you're asking SC whether worth it or not? You're talking to someone who spent an amount equivalent to the cost of a Canon 400D on cat books. ;P At $161.50, surely very "cheap". :bsmile:
