Just seen that there will be a new guide for SE Asia and China south of the palearctic line by Norman Arlott.
It's due in early May in hardback and Kindle versions, but does not appear to include call/song or video in the e-version. I'll be very interested to see if it matches the standard of Mark Brazil's Birds of East Asia and Robson's birds of SE Asia.

I've had this for sonme time now, it's not bad and is currently, AFAIK, the first and still only book to illustrate Cambodian Tailorbird?

HBW Illustrated Checklist Vol 2 has illustrations on page 431. So the HBW original volumes should have more info as well.
Might not have been in the original volumes, but info should be in HBWalive

Joel Sartore will publish a new Photo Ark book
For avian enthusiasts, from armchair observers to dedicated life-listers, this brilliant book from acclaimed National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore celebrates the beauty of all birds, great and small. This elegantly packaged celebration of birds from around the world unites incredible animal portraits from Joel Sartore's distinguished National Geographic Photo Ark project with inspiring text by up-and-coming birder Noah Strycker. It includes hundreds of species, from tiny finches to charismatic eagles; brilliant toucans, intricate birds of paradise, and perennial favourites such as parrots, hummingbirds, and owls also make colourful appearances.
Birds of the Photo Ark (scheduled for April 2018)

This would fall firmly in my least anticipated futures books list.
High quality images, yes, but showing animals detached from their habitats in a sort of aseptic surrounding... Really doesn't appeal to me, and I think from the conservation point of view this is a shot on the foot (imo), as species can only survive as such if their habitats are preserved. And habitats are just totaly ignored in this concept. This looks and feels to me as a high quality photographic catalog for a zoo. In short (very short due to current lack of time) that's what I think of it.What do you think on the Photo Ark project in general?
The 4th edition of "Where to Watch Birds in Southern and Western Spain" is promised for 2018 ...
