I am looking for available copies of books by ALBERTO DE AGOSTINI who
was an Italian priest who travelled and explored extensively in
Patagonia (Chile & Argentina) in the early 20th century.  I have tried
alibris.com, abebooks.com, amazon & ebay so far (as well as trolling
through Google results).

The book I am most interested in is the original printing of "Andes
Patagonicos" from 1941.  It is in Spanish language.  I am looking for
help finding a copy for $250 or less.

I am also interested in "30 aņos en Tierra del Fuego", "Sfingi de
ghiaccio" and "Esfinges de hielo" ideally Spanish language versions.

Finally, I need shipping to the Czech Republic before Christmas.

So far, I found:
http://www.tierradelfuego.org.ar/zagieryurruty/usedbooks.htm
Where the price for Andes Patagonicos is $400 and various other
Agostini books are available.

Through abebooks.com I also found broli.com which has several Agostini
books available but *not* Andes Patagonicos.

Thanks in advance for your answer.  Please LMK if you need additional
information or clarification.

Hello silviares,
Thanks again for your interest and your messages.  At the moment, I
have found copies of the "30 anos..." and "Sphinx" books by Agostini,
so I am only interested in finding a Spanish language copy of "Andes
Patagonicos" for US $200-300.  Delivery before Christmas is no longer
important.  I would appreciate any help in locating copies of "Andes
Patagonicos" if you find any that are within my price range.  Thanks
in advance.
Best,
Indiebands
