Hello Clifford,
I plugged in "Birds of South East Asia" into booko.com.au and it came up with a
number of guides from the region, see below.

As for Fishpond, the numbers of guides does fluctuate and you often have to
"fish" (pardon the pun) around to find what you're after. Over the years I've
found Abebooks an excellent way to search around within certain subject matter
for reference material, but it sometimes requires a little patience to find
what you want, although some excellent bargains can be had if you don't mind
pre-loved editions.
Regards,
Allan
