Book SynopsisTrade Review"Klaus Malling Olsen is to be commended for another colossal gull guide.
Gulls of the World is an unprecedented achievement that fills a great demand. The text will be of good use to anyone wishing to advance their knowledge of gulls and sharpen their gull identification skills. . . . Thanks to the updated range maps, recent identification information, and some recent taxonomic notes, we would certainly recommend making the relatively small investment to own this guide."
---Amar Ayyash & Peter Adriaens, ABA Blog"Gull photos in this book (and others) are, for good reason, well-lit closeups of individuals. How else to capture ID variances? There are photos in Olsen’s book, however, that capture the essence of gull — birds in flocks loafing on a beach, in the air, a cloud of gulls following a fishing boat. Gulls individually are to be identified. Gulls in a flock are to be enjoyed."
---Jim Williams, Wingnut blog"In a birding world that celebrates identification, there are surprisingly few articles and books on gull identification. So, we need to lift a glass to 2018, a year that has given us
Gulls of the World: A Photographic Field Guide by Klaus Malling Olsen and
Gulls Simplified: A Comparative Approach to Identification by Pete Dunne and Kevin T. Karlson. . . . [T]he bar here is high, there are expectations of excellent writing, high-quality photographs, a friendly yet educational approach, and a high level of expertise. . . . And, yes, they succeed on all points."
