Used Book in Good Condition

This book is pretty good.
I went to Costa Rica to bird in 2005, when the Stiles and Skutch book was the only book in town.
The Stiles and Skutch book is very detailed and informative....but it lacks maps, it's bulky, and you won't want to carry it with you in the field every day. However, taking that book with me did teach me to take very good notes (so I could ID birds I wasn't sure about back at the hostel each night).
The newer book (with the toucanet on the cover) is more manageable in the field, and it includes maps. It also has more up-to-date taxonomy.
