There were instructions on The Birder's Library Blog <http://www.birderslibrary.com/news/book_news/sibley-guide-2nd-edition-free-replacement.htm>on getting a replacement right from the publisher, Random House. I followed those instructions by calling Random House directly. They had an automated message ready for me, instructing me where to send the book's bar code to receive a replacement. To save all of you the phone call, do this: *cut off the bar code from the back cover of the book and mail it to:* Penguin Random House Attention Consumer Services / DMS 400 Hahn Rd. Westminster, MD 21157 Be sure to include your return address with it!
