The first printing is slightly oddly bound (like the jacket was made a hair too large for the text) and the printing quality is perhaps not world class. But after getting past aesthetic niggles like that it's a remarkably excellent field guide. The par quality of the art is very high, the range maps are excellent, the text is spot on. Considering it's a first effort for a country that never had a field guide by a first time field guide author and not leveraging existing artwork, I think it is pretty amazing. In fact I would say it is one of the best field guides in S America.</p></blockquote><p></p>
