Good reprint of a classic,
This review is from: A Monograph of the Pheasants (Four Volumes Bound As Two/Volumes I and II) (Hardcover)
This great work is the result of an expedition across most of Asia in the years just before World War I. It is not just a dry ornithological survey, although all the necessary apparatus is there, but is packed with superb descriptions of the landscape and wildlife. It is a work of literature as well as science. The colour plates are from paintings by Thorburn, Lodge, Fuertes, etc and are well reproduced from the original books - not as good as modern colour printing, but good enough. The photographs are rather grey, as they are in the original printing. The text is an exact facsimile, of the excellent typography.

This review is from: A Monograph of the Pheasants (Four Volumes Bound As Two/Volumes III and IV) (Hardcover)
I had looked for this item for a long time before finally locating it on Amazon. It is a very good resource to have. In fact, I prefer these editions over the previous volumes that I purchased. Very informative.

Incredible work,
This review is from: A Monograph of the Pheasants (Four Volumes Bound As Two/Volumes I and II) (Hardcover)
This book is a bargain. A Monograph of the Pheasants should be in every library.
You won't be disappointed at all.
