Well I took delivery today of Pearls of the Southern Skies after ordering online from Angus and Robertson at the link above. Delivery was 3 days from order and packaged for post very, very well indeed.
If you buy 2 you get free postage, perhaps Astro clubs could post multiple orders as at $37 each they then become much cheaper than the $55 plus I have seen the book advertised at other sites.
Current delivery is 1-2 weeks.
With all the excitement about Hartungs reissue, Pearls of the Southern Skies should also be part of a great Southern Hemisphere reference library.
71 prominent Southern Deep Sky objects presented in beautiful photographs on the left page with the right page containing a wealth of object information. At the rear of the book are 15 detailed finder charts.
Deep Sky Observers and Astrophotographers alike should find this a brilliant resource which I liken to a modern version of the famed ESO book Exploring The Southern Sky, itself another must have resource.
