Format:Paperback
This guide is beautifully illustrated with clear drawings and distribution maps. It is portable, robustly bound and is well printed. I wanted a pocket guide to the birds of Margarita Island which is just off the Venezuelan coast but not an official West Indian Island. The Steven Hilty book "Birds of Venezuela" is exhaustive but too heavy, so I annotated the Helm guide to the West Indies. This proved a successful compromise.
I hope one day to visit the West Indies proper and will take my copy of this West Indies guide with me. I will not take the Macmillan "Birds of the Eastern Caribbean" as the photos are nowhere near as good as the illustrations in this Helm guide.

As a Tour Manager for a company catering for the over fifties I usually buy the relevant "bird book" along with the guide books for the contries I visit.I have always found the Helm Field Guides excellent. Their illustrations are superb and they are very easy to use.I now have quite a collection and I must say, armed with a pair of bins and a Helm Field Guide, they add another dimension to my travels and have given many of my customers a great deal of pleasure.

This was for a present for a friend but I had a look through it and the information needed was clear and easy to find.
