I paid $1 for mine but have watched a few sell on ebay and they averaged about what JP2 estimated.
Personally i don't see what all the fuss is about as alot of this stuff is available on line now.

GSXR,
They are more so collectors items rather than reference books these days. If you're into herp books, you will notice people will pay insane amounts of money for mint condition, old books. There are some herp books published in the mid 1800's that sell for over $10,000 Australian.

I haven't counted how many i have, but there's a few there. Got some of the older ones from the 50's. There's a few i've been after for years, but have never seen them outside of my high school library. I rarely by herp books these days unless they are on just pythons or just monitors etc.
I think i have Coggers 5th edition. It has a Thorny Devil on the cover. Also have his "Australian Reptiles in Colour" book.

Much more fun keeping the animals rather than the books, ay Ryan?

Nah, i wouldnt say its a picture book. It's your typical reptile book with info on our reptiles and their habitats, but definately does not cover all our reptiles.
I got mine for $15 from Mike Swan Herp Books.

It is a small book of approx" 112 pages with some coloured pics throughout (hence reptiles in colour
. I have seen these go on ebay anywhere between $10 and $60, depending on condition and date of issue.
Hope this helps.

Mine is a newer edition with a Water Dragon on the cover. How about your two? Southern Forest Dragon or Water?
