Hi All,

I am currently contemplating purchasing Peter Harrison's book "Seabirds: an identification guide".

I gather that there have been two editions, the first published in 1985 and later reprinted, and a second in 1996 - is this correct? I am a bit confused.

If I do purchase the book it will be a 1991 reprinted version (because of price - I gather this is a reprint of the 1985 book). Given that seabird taxonomy has changed quite a bit since the early 1980's I welcome comments from those in the know as to whether it would be still worth purchasing this book.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers, Dean
