In the event you wish to pre-order the second edition of the TOS Handbook is now listed on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Tos+handbook+of+Texas+birds+second+edition&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ATos+handbook+of+Texas+birds+second+edition And also will be available via TAMU Press and other major booksellers. While the release date is listed as March 12, I have learned that that by pre-ordering I have several times rec'ed books well in advance of the release date listed, but no promises there. If ordering the second edition make sure it is the one with the Scissortail on the cover. This publication has increased in size from the first edition that was 261pgs to 554 pages, in the second edition. More than doubled in size. First editions are still available for collectors. Available in both hardback and "paper back" with flaps....There is however a limited printing of the hard copies, with only 200 I believe, so on those you may well wish to pre-order All royalties go to Texas Ornithological Society and this is pretty much the TBRC annotated "checklist" PLUS as published once a decade ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
