Reviews
"The Birds of Hawaii, New Zealand, and the Central and West Pacific: (Princeton Illustrated Checklists) is a concise, light, pocketable guide that can easily be packed in a carry-on bag when visiting one of the numerous islands the guide covers... [It] is a good reference for a large area of islands and for world birding provides a great tool for finding endemics for specific island groups."--birdfreak.com "The small book size, informative maps, detailed endemic information, and broad geographic area makes this the best source of info for this area as a whole. You really should pick up a copy of this book if you plan to bird the islands, plain and simple."--Cory Gregory's Birding Blog "Van Perlo's excellent paintings illustrate 750 species, and the helpful text features 19 maps of the various Pacific archipelagos, plus websites, lists of pertinent organizations and birds restricted to each of these areas (endemics), and a glossary... Attractive, broad in scope, and delightfully compact; an inviting title highly recommended for bird watchers."--Henry T. Armistead "I believe this is the first field guide that covers this widely scattered region, much of which is difficult to reach. Kudos to Princeton and van Perlo for creating a field guide to yet another part of our amazing planet."--Dan Kunkle, Wildlife Activist

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
