Following up on Ian's post yesterday. I just called the Knopf toll-free number and arranged to receive a free copy of the second printing of The Sibley Guide to Birds. If I understood the customer representative correctly, and probably if you still have your receipt, you can take it back to the retailer for exchange or just receipt of the second printing. The representative did ask from whom and when I purchased the book. All I could tell her is that I ordered from Amazon before publication in order to get a better price. She took down that information and my mailing address and told me my new copy should be in the mail by the end of the week. Knopf will call if there is a delay. I asked her to add my comments to the publisher that this is indeed a classy move that is much appreciated by the birding community. So don't delay on making your call.
