This is one of the best field guides I have seen in recent years. Given the significant challenge of being comprehensive (for example the Solomon Islands archipelago consists of over 900 islands) it makes everything really easy to understand. It incorporates all of the features that you need.
Keith Betton, Birder's World
There is much to admire, and the publisher's claim that this would be indispensable on a visit to the region is one I would endorse.

The illustrations are excellent … With a relatively limited number of species on many of the islands, this guide should certainly enable the user to identify anything seen well.
Frank Lambert, The Birder's Library
