Amazing

Wow

empty book box

I received an empty box with no book. The box had not been sealed properly.

Big Disappointment!

This book is NOT the one described by the other reviewers! It is useless. Pay attention to addition details. It is approximately 4x4 inches. Would not have purchased at any price.

Audubon Baby Elephant folio

This book is very large and very heavy. It arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. The photos are beautiful and well written. If you are a bird enthusiast, this is a lovely book to own and peruse.

Wonderful little books for gifts

This "baby elephant folio" is indeed a tiny but complete book of Audubon's "Birds of America." It is a perfect edition to give as a gift to friends and family who are Audubon aficionados. It is great quality and the price can't be beat; I purchased several.

Spectacular

This book is spectacular. The images are breathtaking, and the quality of their presentation is nothing short of superb. Wow!!!

Beautiful volume of audubon

If you are a birder and you collect all the great bird books, your collection is not complete until you get this. A beautiful book, contained in a hard case, with excellent printing. A steal at $250 at its original price, now knocked down between $125 to $185. Get this book! A great tribute to Peterson and Audubon.
