This review is from: Bird Songs (Wonderlings) (Paperback)

It is a crime before God to charge as much as they do for this little book. It lists 14 birds and only one or two measures of birdsong for each, the musical notation of which is only a quarter of an inch high. The original price of the book is $1.50 and the book was published in 1996. I bought the whole book by the original author of the musical notation which included hundreds of birdsongs for less than half the price of this book. I'm still kicking myself for making this purchase to the tune of $15 plus shipping although I know other sellers charge much more.
