Indeed very good (but plates & text separated - annoying!) Gonna go to
Happy Island in August, so it will come in handy.
Cheap place to buy it is http:\\www.bookshop.co.uk (£ 22.49 + P&P).
There's a newly split Bradypterus in Taiwan (now an endemic) - I was
very nervous reading my old notes, having all the other endemics.
I could relax - I had it! Be sure not to miss odd subspecies going to
places like that. Otherwise you have to go back ;-)
There's an other China-book in prep aswell by Phil Round - looking
forward to that!
