"This small field guide might be conveniently sized and priced, but it also leaves a lot to be desired. The first point to note is its conciseness [...] The lack of distribution maps forces the user to read the entire description of each bird before discovering whether it can be found in the region, which combined with the highly varied quality of images makes for a difficult species-level identification. [...] All in all, this book may be good for the beginning birdwatcher to determine birds down to family or genus level, but the experienced birdwatcher will want to stick with more thorough guides."
