Hi Tim,
This title is a steal and a wonderful book that every birder should have on their shelves.
Beware though. PS Books are brilliant but the delivery..Hmmmm.
They delivered my first copy last week and left it by the conservatory in 30mm of rain that day..despite being told to leave it next door on the order form or take it back to their parcel centre. The book was ruined but psbook customer manager, Alexandria, replaced it without question.
So today they delivered the replacement copy...(repeat instruction in bold e-mail and typed very slowly) LEAVE NEXT DOOR OR RETURN TO CENTRE.
What did they do? tossed it over an 8' locked gate and it laid there all day. Thankfully it was a dry day.
Although the packaging was damaged the book was mint and as new.
Fantastic service let down by poor delivery.
Their are other bird titles on this site. The Phillipines book is another steal and it only costs about the same as a decent bottle of red...or two!!
Good original thread Tim..a couple of weeks back by the way.
John.
Anyone ordering from this site could always mention Bird Forum on their e-mail ;-)

On the subject of PS Books - I gave them the same instructions and it was left on th edoorstep on a very wet day - until I retuned at 11:00 p.m.
Amazingly the copy of Beaman & Madge inside was both dry and undamaged - and still there!

This is surely the fault of the couriers not wanting to make a return visit rather than PS Books (assuming your instructions got passed on, of course). Once, when I was a student, I worked a Christmas season as a postman and was criticised for bringing back too many packets. I was told to get rid of them any old how: cram them through the letterbox, leave them round the back, in the garage, in the dustbin(!), with neighbours - anything but bring them back. I bet it's not hard to find the same mentality among couriers, especially when they're more profit-driven.Rob Smallwood said:
