Greetings,

My wife and I are planning a quick (1 week) trip to Malaysia in August and
I was wondering what the current status on field guides was.  I have read
many of the trip reports published on the web (many by birding-ausers) and
noted that there were some new guides appearing in 1997-1998.  We will be
spending most of the time at Taman Negara National Park and Pankgor Laut.
I don't know if I want to buy every book listed below so your
recommendations would be most appreciated.  Of course any tips concerning
travel in Malaysia would not go astray.  No doubt a return trip will be
required for the MANY sites I will miss.

A Guide to the Birds of Thailand - Boonsong Lekagul and Philip D. Round

A Field Guide to the Birds of South-East Asia - Ben King, Martin Woodcock
and E.C. Dickinson

A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore -
Morten Strange and Allen Jeyarajasingam

The Birds of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and Bali by John MacKinnon

A Birdwatcher's Guide to Malaysia by John Bransbury

Mammals:

Mammals of Malaysia, M.W.F.Tweedie, Longman Malaysia, 1978
