Paul,
It is all to do with copyright law. In the Americas, Princeton has the
publishing rights for the Americas, Helm has UK & Europe and New
Holland has Asia-Pacific. I think New Holland has the main rights.
Cheers,

Another nom de plume, as it were.

The Princeton Guides are also published under the Helm Field Guides
cover -
worth checking the prices out for both as the content is identical.

Hi Jan,
I have the Princeton Guide to the Birds of SE Asia by Craig Robson,
who
has authored a number of books on the region. The guide is
comprehensive and
well set out, but it does not have individual distribution maps for each
bird. However it does give a written description of distribution and an
excellent map in the rear cover to refer to. I've not had the pleasure
of
using it in field in SE Asia , but it contains succinct and detailed
information accompanying excellent drawings for each species. I
generally
buy my guides from Fishpond, see link below to the latest
manifestation of
this guide by Craig Robson, which looks to be very up to date (and at a
bargain price to boot):
