Reviews

[Glen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A coffee table books containing pictures of various raptors. Some really good pictures.

[Benjamin Wilkinson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pretty typical large-format coffee table photo book about birds of prey. Mediocre-to-good glossy photos of mostly well-known raptor species, accompanied by disposable text rich with factual inaccuracies copied from other books (and no doubt to be further copied from this one).

Not terrible, particularly as an artist's reference, but neither original nor very good.
