Our Opinion: This tiny book depicts a huge number of species, including vagrants, and species found on the outermost fringes of the region. Previous books in this series have separated the distribution maps to a section in the back of the book, but here they have attempted to solve that problem by including them with the text, opposite the plates. An unfortunate design flaw, however, means that the maps, already tiny, disappear into the gutter of the binding. The illustrations are small, but superb, as Norm Arlott's work always is, and the color reproduction appears accurate. I imagine this to be the perfect book for a traveling businessperson to keep a North American list in, as it is small enough to keep with you wherever you go.
