Book Reviews of Birds, Mammals, and Reptiles of the Galapagos Islands: An Identification Guide, 2nd Edition
Book Review: Great little wildlife book
Summary: 5 Stars
We just got back from an 8 day visit to the Galapagos and found this little book to be the perfect companion on hikes, bay tours, and just sitting around the hotel sighting herons, gulls, etc. Our local naturalists all said this was the book they used, so that seemed like a good recommendation. The overview descriptions, followed by plates of the different types of animals, were very helpful. 1 criticism - seemed like a lot of information on cetaceans which we certainly never saw. I would have appreciated a similar book on the plants of the area - Amazon should sell those as a package, if one exists.....
Book Review: Switcharoo edition
Summary: 2 Stars
Just so you know...
* You originally clicked on the Turtleback edition (2006) from Yale University Press. You are looking at the Paperback edition (2001) from Yale University Press. If you add this book to your cart, you'll get the edition you originally clicked on.
I clicked on the spiral bound book, but despite the above assurance from your website that I would get the original book I investigated, I got the paperback edition which does not fold open easily. The whole point of ordering the spiral edition was to be able to fold the book with viewed pages folded flat. My bad for not complaining---but the review made me go look again at the note.
Book Review: This is a superb book!
Summary: 5 Stars
The computer enhanced illustrations for this book are incredibly clear and easy to identify. We used this in Galapagos and loved it. If it covered some of the plants as well it would be the only guide you'd need.Book Review: excellent guide
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this on a recent trip to galapagos, excellent guide, and very small so great for taking with me all the time
