This section reviews popular books connected with birds and birding in and around India. The review is limited to books I possess or have access to. Most of the books
reviewed are easily available from the internet though some of them will only be with specialist re-sellers. The rating with 
's is my personal unbiased opinion about the overall usefulness of the book and considers information quality, relevance and illustration/image quality amongst other things. It should not be considered to be a scientific review of relative merits ~ Sumit K Sen
