"One of American Birding Podcast's Best Bird Books of 2018 (Nate Swick)"
"One of British Birds' Best Bird Books of 2019"
"This is probably the closest thing to a Gulling for Dummies there is."---Jennie Erin Smith, Wall Street Journal
"Gulls Simplified is an accessible, informative, and even humorous guide to identifying these wide-ranging, wily birds."---The Editors, Audubon
"This clearly-written and beautifully-illustrated book is a must-have for all birders, presenting a simplified method for identifying all those confusing gull species of North America." * GrrlScientist *
"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."---Donna Schulman, 10,000 Birds Book Review
"

These images teamed with the friendly style of writing make you want to read and study every
corner of this book, every paragraph, every caption and to top off the enjoyment – a quiz! Oh yes,
this book has a photographic quiz at the back, and it is great fun – really!

"---Sarah Harris, British Trust for Ornithology
"The overall design of the book is excellent and the photographs are the best collection I’ve seen. . . . The combination of simple approach, brilliant photos and the readable style encourages all birders to dip their toes into the wonderful world of gulls!"---Dawn Balmer, British Birds
"[This book may] finally [get] you into gulls."---John Miles, Birdwatching Magazine
