Choosing field or reference guides for animals can be very frustrating. There often aren't many reviews, and while it seems like it should be easy to choose a volume one relies upon and simply look up another in that series, one finds either:
A. There isn't a comprehensive series of this particular reference guide, and nothing for the taxon desired;
B. There are overlapping guides from the same publisher by different authors and one can't figure out which would be better. 🤷🏻♀️
