"A luxe reissue of John James Audubon's magnum opus proves the man's artistry itself unimpeachable. . . . Preserves the poetic backdrops and fierce detail of the original." --New York TimesThe Baby... This description may be from another edition of this product.
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.

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.
