The Observers Book of British Birds brings back memories. The very book that was the start of my passion for birds and where I learnt to read. There is still a few in it that I haven't seen.

Was this a record?

No fewer than seven copies of The Observer's Book of Birds were included within a single lot  that today went under the hammer at a sale conducted by auction house Tennants at their saleroom in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.  

Also within the 370-volume collection were sister titles  on heraldry, aircraft, geology, furniture and much else, plus one on birds' eggs.

The hammer came down at £420.
