Allan,

It is not that comprehensive. It only lists the Princeton edition of Robson and there are two other printings, by New Holland and Helm, on the market. Hopefully, it will become more comprehensive, as users contribute data.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

Hi Jan,

I have the Princeton Guide to the Birds of SE Asia by Craig Robson, who has authored a number of books on the region. The guide is comprehensive and well set out, but it does not have individual distribution maps for each bird. However it does give a written description of distribution and an excellent map in the rear cover to refer to. I've not had the pleasure of using it in field in SE Asia , but it contains succinct and detailed information accompanying excellent drawings for each species. I generally buy my guides from Fishpond, see link below to the latest manifestation of this guide by Craig Robson, which looks to be very up to date (and at a bargain price to boot):

It is worth comparing prices at http://booko.com.au/
