This is lovely. Thank you. We live very near the John James Audubon park in Kentucky. It's a treasure. They have several of these enormous books on display! I appreciated reading this interview, particularly about how it took 14 years to compile the book. That sort of dedication seems missing today. That's a long time to devote to something, but very worth the time. He created such beauty. More than a bird field guide, but a work of art also.

Great material! It makes learning an adventure.
Thanks. My wife loves art and these books grew out of the material she taught to homeschooled students.
