    The review here tells plenty about the authors and literally nothing, about the book e.g what listing authority / nomenclature have they followed, are there new illustrations? I can see from the physical description that it's almost a hundred pages bigger than the 1st ed...

    In some cases I've seen, e-books are actually more expensive than hard copy versions.

    This is because it doesn't cover the Falklands, it only covers Chilean territory, dosn't include South Georgia either for the same reason. Note the 'where to see' text in each account which I think is a really usefull inclusion and the weak colours on the plates, are the result of my ineptitude...

    I'll take that as a compliment from someone who enjoys hanging around rubbish dumps and sewage outfalls

    I remember reading some of Killiam Mullarney's articles in Birding World and I could hardly ever, see any of the details he talked about and yes, who are these authors, I can't see names anywhere either??

    You should visit the British Birdwatching Fair at some point, there are numerous booksellers who have stands there though they tend to be pricey. They carry a good range of books including antiquarian and some that are hard to get.

    I've used the same seller for about 25 years and only if they can't get something, do I resort to other sources.

    I think we've been privileged to live through what have been the halcyon days for field guides and handbooks. No previous generation has had so much information at their fingertips or such quality illustrations to help with ID. I think though, that now, we may be witnessing the begining of the...

    Me too, in fact, apart from regular field guides, it, Shorebirds and Wildfowl, which all came as a three book set from a book club, were one of my very first, serious purchases.

    Thanks, I wondered how European mainland was receiving them first. Many are done in China these days too but there has been a noticeable decline in paper and print quality as well as the number of defects being reported.

    Bloody hell, I know my supplier has had books since last Monday and yet, I have a message to say that mine, won't even be posted until next, Monday ‼️‼️‼️

    Had been expecting mine, given that my supplier rang me on monday to say he'd got a batch, perhaps I'm on the reserve list. Edit: I've now been debited so they must be on their way 🐎

    Having writen to Lynx last week for details of this book, I just got following reply. 'Many thanks for your message and apologies for the late reply. Yes, we are proud to be publishing Peter Harrison's new Seabirds book. It is due in the first quarter of next year and we are currently...

    I had a call this morning and was told that Wildsounds had received a limited number of the hardcover edition but not many and no softcovers yet. Unusual that they're available almost three weeks before the official release date.

    Would be a surprise if they actually have stock, it's not supposed to be available until 10th Dec. My two copies were ordered a long time ago, one hardcover and one soft.

    I just joined the mailing list at the second link posted by Jonas and I also just wrote to Lynx to ask what they can tell us, so we'll see.

    I think it very unusual, that Lynx aren't advertising it yet if it's anticipated to be on the shelves next month?

    Well based on the fact that it's not mentioned on the Lynx website in the 'coming soon' section, it's clearly not, coming soon! For those like me who didn't know what a 'galley-proof' was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_proof
