JAMES BOND?!?!!!! - Rated
this is the book that inspired the greatest film series of all time. for that reason, its almost worth getting a copy. don't worry about the book itself

Not the easiest book for "in the field " use. - Rated
Buyers need to be aware that relatively few species are illustrated in colour, and some not at all. As the intro states, the book is best used in conjunction with a North American Bird Book.

excellent if limited in scope - Rated
As ever the Collins guides are the ones to have, and this is as informative and well-illustrated as the rest in the series. However, this is such a limited-interest title, one has to wonder why Collins keep it in print. It may be for nostalgic reasons - the author was reputed to have inspired Ian Fleming to use his name when trying to name his secret agent character.

The greatest book of all time - Rated
Birds of the west indies by James bond. What can you say.... A well known author was sitting down, about to write a novel, and was thinking of a character name, he glances at the books on his desk, and what should be itting there, but James bonds book. The well known author (Ian fleming) writes down and uses the name in his books

And the rest is history........

The book that made James Bond famous - Rated
A bit of trivia related to this book: Ian Fleming was writing the first of his spy novels when he happened across this book on a coffee table. He liked the sound of the author's name and so the world was introduced to James Bond.
