Customer Reviews

An unusual and attractive account
I bought this mainly because of the amazing illustrations... these make the book worth the price alone! Refreshingly, this isn't a "ticking round Galapagos " bird book but a fascinating account of a tour around the islands by an artist with an intelligent eye for behaviour, distribution, evolution etc.It is the sort of book that ,once you see it, you have to get it. The only trouble is, if you are interessted in drawing birds, his sheer talent and fluency is a severe bash to the ego.
