I bought my copy of Sibley from the registration kiosk last spring at Boy Scout Woods at High Island. When I contacted the publisher about the poor quality of the 1st printing, they took all of my information and here is what they told me in an e-mail a couple of days later .................... Good morning, We are writing in reply to your recent request for a copy of the 2nd printing of the above title. We regret any inconvenience, however complimentary replacements for individuals with the first printing of this edition are not available. The Sibley Guide to Birds was never meant to be a static publication. 'My goal is for birders everywhere to have the best possible experience With my guidebooks,â says Sibley, âand I will continue to make adjustments to ensure that is the case.' In the first edition of his landmark book, author David Sibley made revisions over the course of several printings In an effort to achieve the most accurate rendering of his work. This has continued with the second edition of The Sibley Guide to Birds, with David making several refinements, including type and color adjustments, in the second printing. The second printing is now off press and available in bookstores. Thank you for your interest in this title. If you have not yet seen the 2nd printing you may find it at your local bookstore.
