My budget certainly doesnt run to having spare copies of Kunze laying around and they are pretty dam rare second hand and never seen a 4th edition used,
at 149Eu it is very good value, VLB charge an arm and leg (well DHL do) for postage I shipped the one for the NSW BOS on my TNT account it cost $65 and was here in 4 days.
If you are serious about buying a copy of Kunze I would be happy to arrange the shipping at cost.
The three volumes of the
Practical Handbooks are good but most of the information is covered elsewhere (Kunze & The Practical Brewer), never seen them second hand.
The Practical Brewer is only $75 USD on the MBAA website I think this is a better place to start than the above Practical Handbooks, buy this one and get a copy of A Handbook of Basic Brewing Calculations from the MBAA $49 USD (really good book), tho I have one copy left for sale ($60 inc delivery) and that will be the 40th copy I have sold.
I havent got DeClerck its 50 odd years old and there have been a lot of changes over that time for one I believe its written entirely in imperial (US) units and I find reaching for a calculator every 5 minutes frustrating.
Mind you at $50 USD it might be well worth grabbing a set for the library.

Actually at that price I just ordered a set of DeClerck frig those prices on Amazon like $890 for DeClerck and $320 for a used Kunze are pretty scary, less than $250 new delivered from VLB
Bigfridge got in first
