Bigger illustrations with maps on the facing page would have been better IMHO and I really don't like the look of all the empty space on some of the pages but it is what it is and it's much better than we had!.Covering such a large, bird rich area and in the intended, desired and much needed detail was never going to make for a lightweight book. Perhaps there's a market here for e.g a standalone Sulawesi guide and other traditional groups the same as they did with e.g North American Sibleys? Could they, would they, think about a dedicated Java and / or Sumatra volume using this work as the base? I'm sure people would like the chance to buy regionally more precise works to avoid carrying the whole thing, not many will do a trip starting in Sumatra and including Sulawesi?Looking forward to getting mine, hopefully soon!Andy</blockquote>
