TQ's book collection

[tyrantqueen]

I've decided to start collecting reference books on certain animal species that interest me. Here is my first addition, Birds of the World by David Alderton.
I think it's a really good general reference. If you're looking for something that covers individual species in greater depth, this probably isn't for you. I liked it, probably since I am a layman and the artwork appealed to me.











More coming soon

Thank you for sharing TQ!  The book illustrations are just superbly detailed!

Princeton Field Guides are also worth the prices of those series!!

Here I have an old favourite, the Macmillan Illustrated Animal Encyclopedia by Philip Whitfield. I really love the illustrations













As a side note, dinosaurs are also briefly mentioned, referred to as "magnificent dead ends". This book is pretty dated
