HI ALL:
Today, I got in an Advance Galley Proof of the above book and I thought
I would share some early thoughts. First of all its binding is similar to
the Sibley 2000 guide except larger. Each photo plate is layered with
birds up close and in the distance giving depth to the plates. They remind
me of museum dioramas. The text is brief like the Sibley guide. According
to the PR sheets supplied to me the author will be putting additional info
at his website once the book is officially launched in March 2011.

sincerely
