Very lightly used. Prev. owner sticker to inside cover; otherwise very crisp, clean and bright inside and out. A field handbook covering all the known species and sub-species of one of the most bird-rich countries in the world – Venezuela – from the Caribbean coast to the jungles of the Amazon, and from the Andes to the Gran Sabana Plateau. Over 1300 species are described and illustrated in the work, which is a completely reworked new edition of the Princeton title A Guide to the Birds of Venezuela”, first published in 1978. The text of that book has been replaced with a new text by another author. Of the 67 plates, 27 are new, and the volume as a whole is over twice the length of its predecessor. Unlike the earlier title, this guide includes a distribution map for every species, using shading for wide-ranging species and locality dots for rarer birds.”
