  With illustrations by Takashi Taniguchi, distribution maps by Satori Hamaya, translation and English adaptation by Desmond Allen, and editor in chief Noritaka Ichida (WBSJ), this is a magnificent field guide, the first covering the whole of the Korean peninsula in English and Korean editions. The illustrations (depicting all of the 450 species recorded in the Peninsula up to November 2000) are superb, with species descriptions and maps given on facing pages. Species names are given in Latin, English and Korean. At the front of the guide there is a useful checklist of Korean birds. A must for any birder visiting the region.
