Hi all,
I did a bit of a review of the big four bird guides for birdforum and one
subject I touched on was what the books are printed on. Simpson and Day has a
waterproof cover under the dustjacket and waterproof end papers, while Slater
and Morcombe have plastic sleeves (Pizzey doesn't appear to have any
waterproofing), but why stop there? Reading about CSIRO's nascent field guide,
I wonder if they would entertain the idea of using similar paper for the book
as they use for Australian bank notes - you'd have a guide that would be
completely waterproof and that much more useful in the field as well as more
resistant to normal wear and tear.
Just an idea.
Cheers,
Tony
