This review is from: A Field Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent (Hardcover)
It's an outstanding book for the birds of indian sub continent, I found it great in field especially. The illustaration by Ber van Perlo are excellent. And the text is so brief and informative for the use in field identification.

Plates were small and seemed to be more of a "blend" than the other book we took along. Still they were serviceable for us. The hard cover made it somewhat difficult to carry along during our short visit, but the latter would help preserve the book for someone wanting a more long lasting reference.

Handy Field Guide,

This review is from: A Field Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent (Hardcover)
Of the several field guides to Indian birds, this is certainly one of the best researched, illustrated and sleekly designed books. The pictorial index in the inside cover page is brilliant and a great help for birders out in the field. Distribution maps are easy to locate and acurate.
One would have liked to have a little more descriptive write ups on each bird, but the need to keep the size of the book manageable might perhaps have prompted the authers keep them short and sweet. However, due to the criptic and short descriptions in the book I find myself carrying two instead of one book in my backpack, Kazmierczak as a ready reference and Salim Ali for details. Illustrations are the best among all field guides available to date. Overall, a good and necessary addition to one's collection of bird books of Indian Region.
