Collin's vs Princeton? (European Guide)

[Kevin]

Is there some difference in the two of these other than price? Is one better quality printing or paper? Is there anything different other than the cover art?

The Collins guide is published in England, the Princeton is published in the USA. They should be identical except for the title, cover art, and copyright/publishing info. I don't know about the printing or the paper. In my opinion it is the best field guide in the world.

If I lived on either coast I'd have a copy of this book in my vehicle at all times.  It is such a well done book.  Might be my favorite.

My wife recently got me this one for my birthday and I agree it's excellent. It's my current end table field guide alongside the recent NA flycatcher one. Although the latter could be set aside until next year.

I got it as a birthday gift too. We are lucky people.

I also got mine as a birthday present. We are indeed lucky.
