I have been searching for a copy for some time and still have yet to find it. It would have been nice to have the field guide to show our friends back home. It looks like such a beautiful book to remember one of the last few natural bastions of Singapore by.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8110737299038469570.post-33795779559811675992008-05-04T09:16:00.000+08:002008-05-04T09:16:00.000+08:00The CJ guidebook has always been very popular.

So it will be great if we have another follow up.

Especially looking at how quickly information can become obsolete and outdated even before the book hits the shelves. IMHO, online databases are probably the way to go. But then at the same time, one cannot deny the value of a guidebook when one is out in the field. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>Maybe a team of 'experts' to share the burden would be best if a new guidebook is produced.Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637204084596462318noreply@blogger.com
