How it works

Register

Small folio (320 x 245 mm), 760 pages. This stunning record of our bird species lists and illustrates 840 species with full colour photographs, with supplementary paintings by Graham Arnott.

In his Foreword Eric Hosking rightly asserts that no other Southern African bird book on this scale has ever been attempted before. The book was 8 years in the making and is likely to remain the standard of work on the subject for decades to come.

This copy is no.136 of the special collectors’ edition of only 250 copies. Bound in half leather with marble boards in a matching slip case, beautifully executed by Peter Carstens, Signed by all 3 authors. This is a very fine copy.
