Crossley Guide a worthy buy

Whilst The Crossley bird identification book might not be the traditional field guide I must report personally I found it a great reference tool. The book's revolutionary plates shows photographs of birds in typical habitat, enabling users to picture species as they would look in the field. 

The guides tries to illustrate all plumages, as well as showing the birds at different distances from the observer in panoramic lifelike settings.

My only area to improve would be amount of pages dedicated to very common birds such are garden tits. Copies can be picked up for around £10.00 on Amazon, a rare bargain considering how much work went into producing a book of this quality.
