Condition Report
New: A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.

Catalogue Note
This highly illustrated volume deviates from a traditional taxonomic field guide, focusing instead on the experiential and mindful aspects of birding. Curated by Lonely Planet in collaboration with ornithological experts, it details 60 primary global birding destinations alongside 120 supplementary recommendations. The work is structured geographically, covering Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. It serves a dual purpose as both a practical travel planner (noting accessibility, best seasons, and locator maps) and an aesthetic tribute to the hobby, featuring vibrant cover art by illustrator Owen Gatley.

The Joy of Birdwatching explores the simple moments of mindfulness and attentiveness found in observing birds in their natural habitats. It celebrates 60 enchanting birding experiences—from listening to nightingales at the RSPB Minsmere reserve in the UK to spotting the Superb Fairy-wren in Australia. Packed with expert insights, Q&A panels with local voices, stunning photography, and essential trip-planning advice, the book acts as an inspiring gateway to connecting with the natural world and planning your next restorative adventure.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
