[Aqualist] New book "Geology of Victoria"

[Bernie Joyce]

Here's a note I prepared for ANZGG members about the new "Geology of 
Victoria" volume, which has chapters on Geomorphology, Quaternary, 
Palaeoclimate, Geological Hazards, Palaeontology, Conservation & 
Heritage, etc.

AQUA members could be interested too.

Geology of Victoria - Special Publication 23, Ed. W.D. Birch (2003)

How to obtain a copy.

Now that Geology of Victoria has been launched, copies are available 
for purchase either through the Victoria Division or through the 
Business Office in Sydney. How this is done depends on where you are 
and how you want to pay. Please select from the following options.

1. Cash sales (cash or cheque only) can only be through the Victoria 
Division. Books will be available at GSA monthly meetings or you can 
arrange to collect a book at other times by contacting Bill Birch 
(9270 5049). Books will be stored at the Geosciences section of 
Museum Victoria and can be picked up from the Royal Exhibition 
Building basement by arrangement with Bill. Using this method, the 
prices are as follows:

Members: $125

Postage and handling $10 extra if the book is to be mailed out.

Cash receipts will be issued (note these prices are GST free).


2. Institutional, credit-card and GST-inclusive sales can only be 
processed by the GSA's Business Office in Sydney. You can order the 
book using the form printed in The Australian Geologist or if you 
want to save postage and handling you can collect the book at a 
monthly meeting or through Bill Birch as shown above.

You will then be invoiced from Sydney office. Using this method, the 
prices are as follows:

Members: $148.50
Non-members: $170.50
Postage and handling of $11 included; tax invoice/receipt will be supplied.

Note that the postage and handling charge in both methods is for 
Australia only. Overseas postage is extra.


3. Go to the GSA web site: http://www.gsa.org.au/ and then to "books 
on-line" then "Divisions" then "Victoria" .

Members: $148.50 (Aus) $165.00 (overseas)

All prices given are in Australian dollars and include surface 
postage. Australian prices include GST.


4. Bill Birch says that the GSA are exploring options of having the 
book available in several retail outlets, such as Information 
Victoria, The DPI Information Centre and Bookshop and the  Melbourne 
Museum Bookshop. The cost of the book through these outlets is likely 
to be close to $200.
