question about Wallacea books/plates (1 Viewer)

[tapaculo]

I just read (to my surprise, given the title) that "The Birds of Wallacea: An Annotated Checklist" by White & Bruce has color plates. Does anyone know how they compare to the plates in "A guide to the birds of Wallacea" by Coates? Are they the same?

(Both books are out of print but sometimes available... but the price asked for the guide is preposterous, as high as US$7,000!)

Thanks...

Coates/Gardner example

In case anyone has the Annotated Checklist, attached is a scan of an example of the Coates/Gardner field guide. Is it the same in the checklist?
Thanks

I got my copy of the Wallacea checklist. No plates.
