Australian Bird Guide--caution

[Niel Bruce <>]

A heads up if you are rushing to buy a copy of the new CSIRO The Australian 
Bird Guide. I bought a copy on Thursday and had to change it as the print 
quality was poor with some bleached out illustration pages. I have also heard 
that some others have had this experience.

My replacement copy is free of massive faults but several pages are still pale 
and washed out looking (e.g. thornbills).

In my copy the really bad pages were 67, 321 and 325. Acceptable in my replaced 
copy include pages 81, 327 and 351.
Check carefully when buying as the faulty pages vary between copies.

Best wishes,            Niel
