I don't want to kill any potential business that Andrew Isles may get,
however I have been in correspondence with Birds Australia, to whom
the copyright of HANZAB reverts once OUP has sold or disposed of all
the copies. They are considering some sort of electronic access to the
HANZAB text and illustrations, possibly a subscription web-site.
I bought the first couple of HANZABs but found them too expensive and
bulky to keep on collecting. I would welcome an electronic version and
I hope Birds Australia gets on with it.
