Hi, I am very keen to buy one of the blooks listed below as a gift for a caver:

Les cavernes et les rivi?res souterraines de la Belgique (Van den Broeck, E, Martel, E.-A. and Rahir, Ed.) (in French), Bruxelles: Lamertin, 1910, (2 vol.) 1800 p.

Abebooks but search French sellers as well. I got Irelande et Cavernes Anglaises for a very reasonable fee including postage a few years back and the ones on your list are fairly regularly listed.

The last one from your list is pretty expensive. The prices go from 250  up to 500 ? depending on the state. It is a very impressive work and is more like one of the first reference book for Belgium

Les cavernes et les rivi?res souterraines de la Belgique (Van den Broeck, E, Martel, E.-A. and Rahir, Ed.) (in French), Bruxelles: Lamertin, 1910, (2 vol.) 1800 p.

Of course you can get a Martel cheap. But if you want the original " les cavernes...." from 1909 then you pay a high price. There is also a version from 1976 which can be bought much cheaper
