I read a lot about this book on various platforms and googled the title - the best price by far was on Loot - R460.00 for a book of this quality was way beyond simple value for money. I received the book a lot sooner than I expected and it was everything and more than I had read about. A lot of people are going to have hefty gifts in their Christmas stockings this year. (Hopefully stocks last at this price).

Magnificent pictures and information. Really well laid out

Thank you Loot for the best price and delivery for our 'BIRDS' book !! It has fantastic photos and information! We love it.

Excellent value, beautiful photos, fills the gap in any birder's library.

As someone who's fairly new to the birding world, I couldn't resist getting my hands on this beauty. I saved significantly by purchasing the book (my first ever bird book) through Loot, which I am extremely grateful for. The online process was swift and not complicated; my order arrived in mint condition, carefully wrapped and well looked after (thanks Pargo!). A super satisfied customer - thank you Loot!

I just LOVE this book. Being a newish birder, it has given me so much information. The photographs are fantastic, making bird ID much easier. My book arrived on the 4th working day after placing the order. Very happy!

Excellent book with some of the best bird photographs I've seen in a while. The sorting of birds into behavioural/diet groups does take a bit of getting used to at first, especially if you are used to the normal order found in other birding field guides. But luckily this provides no hurdle whatsoever, and I can definitely recommend this book to both new and experienced birders! Your bird book library will improve with the addition of this one.

By far one of the most beautiful books I've ever had. Kudos to Loot for their exceptional price!

I am super impressed on two fronts. Firstly the book is amazing, its more than i expected, congratulations to the authors for producing such a remarkable book, they certainly can be extremely proud of the book. Secondly, i am super impressed with the service from Loot, from placing the order to receiving the book was three days. The original delivery timeframe was 5 to 7 days and i received in 3 days, so super impressed and i will defiantly use Loot in the future.

A very worthwhile purchase. Great book with clear photographs of all SA birds. I refer to this book constantly in addition to my other Birding resources

An absolutely fantastic book with stunning photographs and interesting information. My son absolutely LOVES his birthday present!

Product as described, excellent service and great price
