About This Item
Oxford University Press, 1999. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. Although this book describes itself as "the first fully comprehensive field guide to the birds of West Malaysia and Singapore," it probably attempts too much. It is certainly comprehensive, but maybe a bit heavy for use as a field guide unless birdwatchers have porters. The book runs to 490 pages and weighs nearly a kilo with 72 of the pages being devoted to clear coloured plates of "every species known to occur or have occured " in the region. Each bird's entry in the book includes a written description of the bird itself, its voice, range, status, distribution, habitat and habits. Sadly the book is out of print as there has been nothing to match it before or since. Very Good Paperback Weight: 0.9kg. Post free within Malaysia There is minor wear on the cover. Otherwise the book looks new
