Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Knopf Publishing has managed to botch a David Sibley Guide,once again. As many of you will know, "The Sibley Guide to Birds" Second Edition, First Printing (March 2014) was reprinted in July 2014 in response to negative feedback from purchasers of the Guide. The print was too light,and the colors of a number of the birds was off. In this case, it is the coloration of the birds which struck me right away.Some of the white birds are far too light,and some of the darkest birds are so dark such that it is difficult to see the features of the birds. I have the Sibley Guide to BIrds,Second Edition,Second Printing (July 2014) side by side with the "Sibley Birds East.", "revised edition " (March 2016). The coloration of the birds is far better in the " Sibley Guilde to Birds. I will probably return this Field Guide.I would not be surprised if Knopf reprinted it. "Sibley Birds East " is 438 pages and fairly weighty. .It's not something I would tote around in the field PLEASE NOTE : Amazon has lumped the reviews of the previous edition together with the March 2016 Edition. These are not identical books. I would recommend that those who are perusing the reviews look at the dates.Any reviews published prior to the end of March,2016, have to be of the first edition.
