Dear Members of the Zoological Society of Japan
The Zoological Society of Japan occasionally receives donated books from publishers and authors. Since we have accumulated a considerable number of donated books, we have decided to send the books currently at the Society free of charge to Zoological Society members who wish to receive them.
If you would like to request a specific book, please apply via the Google Form.

Please keep the following points in mind.
1 Application period: May 16 to May 23, 2024 (until noon)
2. If there is only one application for a book at the end of the application period, it will be shipped immediately.
3. In the event of multiple applications, Chairman Terakita will conduct a lottery to determine the recipients. Numbers will be assigned in the order applications are received, and the secretariat will notify the applicants of their respective numbers. Chairman Terakita will then randomly select the winning numbers.
No shipping fees, book costs, or other charges are required. The society hopes that all books will find their way into the hands of our members. Please feel free to apply and put them to good use.
