    The 'blurb' on Amazon includes.... 'A guide to the best birdwatching sites in the Middle East is also included.' Is this incorporated within the book or is it a separate booklet?

    The first edition got more criticism than I can remember for just about any book with the possible exception of Baker's Warblers. Interesting that it's listed at c£20 cheaper than 1st ed and also carrying the divisive QR codes.

    Totally ignnoring the survey they did then and pumping out stuff that really isn't a priority when a shortage of field guides in other areas is so obvious. Looks like they're covering the most popular destinations first to get max revenue. Including Malaysian Borneo makes little sense to me...

    I was trying to keep it simple James ;) And don't forget the Groat, worth 4 Pennies, the 5 shilling coin colloquially referred to as a Dollar due to its resemblance to the American coin, a two shilling coin was also know as a Florin etc, etc

    Ironic that your monetary system was metric from it's inception, you should have tried handling the old Pounds, Shillings and Pence before we went decimal! 4 Farthings to a Penny 2 Halfpennies to a Penny 12 Pennies to one shilling 20 Shillings to 1 Pound 21 Shillings = 1 Guinea which oddly, is...

    There is no single guide for Sulawesi, you'll need this which covers the entire region including Borneo. https://www.lynxeds.com/product/birds-of-the-indonesian-archipelago/ An older, out of date title, which covers 'Wallacea' only...

    Has to be the same answer I gave for Thailand, the new Lynx guide. https://www.lynxeds.com/product/birds-of-vietnam/

    I assume that the new Lynx guide would be it now, at least taxonomically? https://www.lynxeds.com/product/birds-thailand-0

    I doubt that a book published as recently as 2016 will be on a second edition? A

    Apart from the NHBS link in the OP, I can find absolutely no other outlet carrying this title. Even a search for the ISBN, returns no results. A

    I think the China book will be your best (only?) option. The Mongolia book is yet another title which keeps getting delayed. Andy

    If you look it's not actually available, it is the same book. Has anything been more delayed than Tits, and what happened to Cranes and Bustards!!! Andy
