Review:

"The present work is a concise guide to the varied birdlife of [India]. It is small enough o handle in the field with ample color plates and an authoritative text that will help identify most of the species encountered. If India is in your dreams then this timely book will help the birding traveler. --Indiana Audubon Quarterly, Charles E. Keller
