At last, ornithologists and birdwatchers in Borneo have a complete and accurate guide to birds that they can fit in their pockets. For 30 years, folks have worked to this end, and it is extremely gratifying to have reached it. . . . The guide's author, Susan Myers, has led Victor Emmanuel Nature Tours in eastern Asia for more than 15 years. Thus, she has been an integral part of the ecotourism phenomenon. She combines great experience in finding and identifying birds in Borneo with a grand perspective of Asian birds as a whole. The result of these congruent forces is a truly outstanding field guide. It is small, has extensive color illustrations of all the birds, a complete set of maps, and all the information needed on plumage, distribution, habitat, elevation, and behavior to sort out the species. It really is excellent. . . . By virtue of its simplicity and thoroughness, this is an outstanding field guide. I really cannot wait to take it into the forest and give it a field test. No doubt it will hold up well. (Frederick H. Sheldon Wilson Journal of Ornithology )

Birds of Borneo: Brunei, Sabah, Sarawak, and Kalimantan (Princeton Field Guides). This book is still the only one to illustrate all the birds of Sumatra, Java, and Bali and must be used by any serious birding visiting these islands. This is a great buy for the travelling birder and it will encourage people to take one of the many tours now being offered. Locals will also find it useful as, like many of the new Princeton guides, it is compact and light and easy to carry over difficult terrain.
