Hi Rob,

You can usually find them on eBay, at the moment with the dollar the way it is you can get them off eBay in the USA cheaper than in Aus

http://www.abebooks.com/ or amazon would be my pick.

These books are great but not that common in Australia.

Hope that helps.

I would suggest ebay, if you are willing to wait a while.

You can use the advanced search option in ebay specifying auctions below a certain price then select the box that says save search. Then whenever an item is listed, within your price range you get an email notifying you. I think you need an ebay account to do this.

I got both Bonsai Techniques 1 and 2 this way for $85.

I won't ever sell mine either. I use booko to do a search worldwide for the books and the best price you can get at the time (obviously not including ebay etc). Here are the current results:
