This is a new identification guide to this region of outstanding ornithological interest. With more than 800 species illustrated in full colour. This book comes from the collection of David Pitman who was once in the top 10 for his world list of species seen.As a result this well travelled book shows signs of its adventures with David and we feel those adventures should continue with a new owner.

Review
'this book is essential for anyone visiting the region and will remain the standard for some years'Nigel Redman, British Birds 86:636
'This new and enlarged edition is ... very welcome and has been long awaited by many ornithologists who travel in the region. The texts on the species have, of necessity been kept brief, but nevertheless give in a clear layout all important information. The coloured illustrations are ... all incomparably better than in the (first edition) for Java and Bali. The book fills a gap and is indispensable for every ornithologically interested visitor to the region.'Journal fur Ornithologie 1235, 1994
'the most complete and comprehensive field guide for the region of the Greater Sunda islands ... No doubt, this top field guide will be wanted by any birder going to the Greater Sunda islands as well as by many ornithologists as a general reference. I encourage everyone to have a copy.'Josef Kren, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Moravian Ornithological Society, Czechoslovakia'
'This attractive new book fills an important gap in the literature on the ornithologically rich Indonesian and Malaysian islands of the Greater Sundas. The superb colour plates by K. Phillipps are the highlight of the book ... the overall standard of the book is very high, and it will be an essential addition to the library of anybody interested in birds of the Oriental region.'Charles Francis, Ibis, 1994
'We hope that this useful field guide not only attracts crowds of Birdwatchers but also contributes to the local inhabitants learning and appreciating their rich bird population, i.e. learning to protect.'Ornis, February 1994/Nr.1
This landmark book deserves a place in the libraries of both birders and ornithologists. (H. Douglas Pratt, Louisiana State University, Auk, Vol. 112, April 1995)
