I have managed to pick up a copy of Geoffrey herklots Field Identification and Field Note Book "The Birds of Hong Kong", publisged in 1946 and inscribed Rosemarie Evison. This is a beautiful little book (I guess it is A5 size). It says on the frontespiece, "written and illustrated during 43 months' internment at Stanley". An even more wonderful achievement under such circumstances. Is this book rare, does anybody know?

Thanks

Andrew
