del Hoyo, Josep., et al. Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volumes 1 to 16 plus Special Volume. 1st. Ed. Pub. Lynx Edicions. 1992-2013
Seventeen volume complete set. With colour photographs and illustrations throughout. Large 4to. Volumes 1 to 12 and 15 have very minor spotting to fore-edges of text block, o/w. they are fine hardbacks in fine dws., (three dws. show just a hint of sunning to spine). Volumes 13, 14, 16 and the Special Volume are new hardbacks in the publisher’s packaging. A superb work.
A monumental work taking over 20 years to complete. The publishers, Lynx, committed to cover in detail and illustrate every species of bird in the world. The Special Volume contains species new to science since the publication of their respective volumes, and a comprehensive global index for the set.
