    This is a wonderful book. If any on Zoochat have not got a copy, then they are missing out on something special. It is informative, filled with superb pictures, maps and details, and beautifully designed. Certainly the best UK zoo history book (by a mile); possibly the best European zoo history book (maybe some of the wonderful Berlin books may challenge its primacy).

    Does anyone know if this book will ever be reprinted? Trying to find a copy online is proving difficult!

    I believe that the zoo has now sold out. I have a spare copy if you would like to buy one. Message me.
