Best book for Bolivia (field guides) (2 Viewers)

I should add that I've visited Bolivia since the post linked to by James was written, and while some things still are spot on, other things have changed quite significantly. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to give a full update, but these pages are helpful:

In a few months time, a new and much better field guide to Peru will be published. However, if leaving before that, I'd still recommend bringing the old Peru guide. Otherwise, you'll have little chance of identifying most of the lower Yungas species (same for the various lowland species in NW Bolivia). If your need for a guide is less pressing, a Bolivia guide is currently being prepared. I think it'll be published in 2008 or 09, but expected publication dates for bird guides and the actual date where they are published always seem to be differ.
 
dear Rasmus,

what is the full name of this book on Peru?



**Anyway, I will visit Bolivia next september (and hope to manage ID with available books!!)

thanks for your help!
