Hi Richardson,
Abebooks is certainly a great site for out of print titles. Fishpond
is sometimes one of the cheaper options. I have found that Book
Depository is one of the better online booksellers, as far as range of
titles goes and their pricing is pretty good. You also can't sniff at
their free postage. Another online bookseller that is worthwhile
checking for new and used titles is Better World Books. They are a non-
profit organisation which ploughs back their operating surpluses into
providing funds for literacy programs throughout the world.
Cheers,
Carl

Hello Clifford,
I plugged in "Birds of South East Asia" into booko.com.au and it came
up with a number of guides from the region, see below.

As for Fishpond, the numbers of guides does fluctuate and you often
have to "fish" (pardon the pun) around to find what you're after.
Over the years I've found Abebooks an excellent way to search around
within certain subject matter for reference material, but it sometimes
requires a little patience to find what you want, although some
excellent bargains can be had if you don't mind pre-loved editions.

Allan

Allan,
It is not that comprehensive. It only lists the Princeton edition of
Robson and there are two other printings, by New Holland and Helm,
on the market. Hopefully, it will become more comprehensive, as
users contribute data.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

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):

It is worth comparing prices at http://booko.com.au/
