Review:

One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1994
"This is an exceptionally well-illustrated book, solidly produced, and chock-full of information for the serious birder's library or coffee table. It is a book to dip into or drool over while fancying beautiful and interesting birds in faraway places which we can hope to visit one day."--Audubon Naturalist News

"This is a major identification reference work covering a confusing and difficult group of species. It is a book that every ornithologist and serious birder will want to own. Most highly recommended."--Wildlife Activist

"The illustrations are attractive and useful for identification of all 290 finches. In many cases these are the best available color plates for the species."--Quarterly Review of Biology
