I was at the Sabah Museum in Kota Kinabalu in about Sept last year and they had
all of the aforementioned books, including several of the old Mackinnon and
Phillips, one of which I bought (but it wasn't cheap). I second Carl's
recommendation of going to Borneo Books too, but beware, if you're also
interested in plants, fungi, mammals, frogs etc etc you might end up spending a
lot of money there cos there any many great temptations!
This is all of course assuming you're going to Borneo. I can't recommend any
places to buy books in the other 3 islands and imagine it would be a tough call.

Hi Chris,
Do you only need the book for Borneo? If so and are entering via Kota Kinabalu,
try Borneo Books http://www.borneobooks.com/blog/ ; They probably will not have
McKinnon & Phillips (but you never know), but they certainly keep Myers and,
usually, Quentin Phillipps' "Birds of Borneo". I have bought both of my copies
there. Borneo Books is worth a look anyway, if you have some time in KK. They
do an excellent mail service, which is handy if you happen to run amok in
there, as I have done a few times.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hi all
Does anyone have a copy of
*Field Guide to the Birds of Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and Bali*, by *John
MacKinnon* *and Karen Phillipps*, Oxford University press,
that you would like to sell? I have left it too late to order from Amazon
as I am leaving on 13th August from Sydney.
Thanks,
Chris
