Are you as excited as I am? My Sibley Guide to Birds is pretty darn destroyed from hard use and I can’t wait to see what he has cooked up for the next edition. Do you have the same problem? Well, you can keep up with what David Sibley is up to on his new Facebook page.

My Sibley guide is in three pieces. Now I’ll just wait to replace it.
So, this would be better than our “Golden Book” from 1989 by all accounts! 🙂
