    Finally a sensible species sequence for a FG Got my copy of this long-awaited book (The Australian Bird Guide, by Peter Menkhorst et al.) and I'm elated to see a species sequence that works for field guides worldwide! Now, if only the rest of the publishing world would adopt what seems like an...

    The only major shortcoming is the book's index. It is far from user-friendly. See discussion here: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=342509 And one can find a Quick-find Index there that helps to alleviate some of the problems. Another review is found here...

    Birds of New Zealand, new edition There is apparently a new, the fourth, edition of FG to the Birds of New Zealand out since April. http://www.andrewisles.com/all-stock/publication/38116 Any comments on this one? It must be a major revision. So far, the only place I found it listed is by...

    Birds of New Guinea 2nd edition Yes, that's what I think as well. So here is the addition: Birds of New Guinea: Second Edition (Princeton Field Guides) to be published in October 2014. Sample pages can be found here...

    Pizzey and Knight 9th edition There is a newer 2012 (9th) edition of this book. Does in now include the species of the outlying islands like the Slater FG? Is says there is a new species sequence. So which sequence is it following now? Any other major changes?
