This book is difficult to find but not impossible. The prices are insanely high elsewhere, but not here. The book was new, the shipping very fast, and the price very low. An excellent transaction.

Great Book Terrible Source
Bought as a gift for a wheelchair bound young adult. Having my own copy of the magnificent book , it was just the thing. However, he never got to enjoy it, as the packing was minimal, leaving it exposed to the rain when delivered. HPB-Ohio was a fialure!

terrific resource for birders
I've bought 2 of these, and they're terrific. Nice pictures and descriptions plus you get to hear the actual chirps for each bird. Only drawback is the index... has very faint colored print, plus print font is way too small. Just make sure you have your magnifying glass with you!
