Getting my copy of the Robert's Geographic Variation next week. Cant wait!

I had my copy and had to give it back. sad

Mine had major printing gremlins, with two sets of pages duplicated and one set of 10 pages missing. now waiting for my fixed copy to arrive - but its a brilliant book - but as someone said to me definitely for hard-core birders
