Birds of Turkey
Has anybody seen the new book Birds of Turkey (Helm Field Guides) by Guy Kirwan? If so, could you please comment? Is it a site guide, a FG (as the series implies), or a combination? I assume it has only photos and maps as illustrations. Or are there FG style plates, i.e. drawings?

There's a comprehensive review on Birdguides this week. I bought the book last autumn; it's an avifauna with just a limited number of photos; only illustration for every species is a distribution map (and these are not too well drawn, the worst aspect of a book whose scope and achievement is otherwise superb)

EDIT: OK, I found it, but only thanks to Google. I wonder why I could not find it on Birdguides myself.
