I often refer to HANZAB but frequently take the wrong one of the shelf first. With the plastic covers they stick together and eventually that creates excess use. Yes I know bird groups well but tend to forget the sequence (which is after all largely arbitrary in terms of arranging orders and some families mainly within the Passeriformes) in a linear sequence. The spine says bird groups X to Y as end points but those in between those X & Y groups can be hard to recall. I haven’t found in HANZAB and wonder if someone has done a one page list of the main groups (e.g. families) as listed in each volume, that I can copy and tape on my bookshelf? Philip

hi Philip, merry Christmas to you… I would do what Tony (…Russell I presume??) has suggested – I get stuck at times myself too, especially with the honeyeaters being placed more forward than i’m used to, which throws me off with the groups afterwards… of course I know which volume the honeyeaters are in due to the spine illustration! so why not just do a quick mock-up of family groups by hand to stick on your shelf under each respective volume?? of course that wouldn’t work for me as I lay them down on top of one another!!! but all more books get well used with much wear & tear on the outside, but hey I don’t because the pages within are in pristine condition… that’s quite an achievement living beachfront in the Wet Tropics!! cheers, martin cachard, cairns

Philip Hi Philip, You could always photocopy the combined index at the end of the last book. There is both a Latin index including order, family, species, etc., and a five-page English index with all species, volume and page(s). The English index is from page 1980 to 1984 in Volume 7B. Alternatively, you could scan the index and edit it down to one page, including only families. Cheers, Geoff
