Good thing the HBW is published in Spain and not in Britain, otherwise it would be HBBW (Handbook of the Birds of Britain and the World).
So then, the Birds of Britain and Ireland and Europe?
So... does that leave Ireland as part of 'Britain' or has that bird flown?

Just wondering whether the second edition is being published in Swedish first (as per the original version)? If it's already available, perhaps a Swedish member can give us a review of the changes...

Is it me, or is this getting a bit silly...?
Nah, it's about normal as far as publishers go.....

This is worse than New Order albums in the good old days! Will the paperback be pushed back as well?
Either we are all way too eager to finally get this new edition. Or else, it is really more than silly how they handle this. I think it's the second version that is the case here. Reminds me of the Boeing Company's pushing back the date of first flight of their "Dreamliner". Well, maybe this book has become a "Dreamguide"?

Shall we place our bets? My stab-in-the-dark guess is May 2010. Any advances on May 2010?
The winner gets a copy of the third edition when that comes out.

Right way up again
My guess is that when the third edition comes out, the wikipedia entry for 'bird' will be
Bird
Birds were creatures that once flew, but over time became massive land-based predators, eating what were once known as 'humans' [citation needed]. A legend existed among the last of the 'humans' found on the planet that all of the birds could be described in a legendary tome known only as 'The Second Coming of Koh-lins'. No fragment of this book exists and it is doubted by many scholars to have been real, but indeed a metaphor for orderliness during the ravages of the 42nd century.
Birds died out several years after the descendents of humans returned from aeons in space, mainly as they were tasty. The last 'human' died in Hobart Zoo, 22nd January 4315.

I reckon the 3rd edition will come out first at this rate.
