The last edition of Cogger is still a very valuable reference because of the high level of detail the species accounts have. No books since published have that level of detail for all Australian frogs/reptiles. In saying that, I'm not sure I'd be willing to fork out that much money for one.
I wish I'd bought some extra copies when it was still in print.

That is a reasonable price for an excellent reference source.
The last time I looked at the price on www.amazon.com it was around the $1000.00 mark.

I got a Coggers for $50 at an AHS meeting a few months back. It was picked up from a used bookstore by another member.
