This is NOT a book!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New York City Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species in the Metropolitan Area (US City Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
I ordered this item to be able to reference the different types of birds throughout Manhattan and NYC. When I received this item I was quite surprised to find it was flat, just like a folded map. I guess I should have paid more attention to the description being a "fold out guide" and not a book, but it still really took me by surprise. Previously I had ordered a similar product on all the different NYC trees and I received an actual pocket book with many pages. I thought this would be something similar but it's really nothing more than a fold-out guide with pictures and extremely limited descriptions of the different types of birds you can find in the city.
When completely unfolded it measures 22" long by 8.25" high. In all honesty, this is something that could have been downloaded off the internet (save for the fact that it is laminated) and $6 seems a bit pricey for the actual product. This guide is okay if you just want to try to visually match up a particular bird you have seen, but other than that it really doesn't offer too much information.
