The BB/BTO Best Bird Book of the Year 2021

2ND PLACE

“A book featuring and illustrating, quite literally, every bird in the world was deemed to be one of the most exciting titles on the shortlist, and the culmination of many decades of work by Lynx Edicions and Josep del Hoyo. With other, more-extensive incarnations of the same work available… the judges felt that this title represented more of a luxury product – to leaf through (and drool over) – rather than a reference work per se, but that did nothing to detract from the beauty and exceptional quality of All the Birds of the World. The judges agreed that the title offered something for everyone.”

British Birds, 115, p 100, February 2022

“Ce nouveau volume, d’une facture digne de la qualité à laquelle nous ont habitués les éditions Lynx, veut faire honneur à la gent ailée qui nous touche, en jetant des ponts entre le scientifique, le passionné et le profane. Il est non seulement une ouverture sur la diversité, mais surtout une fenêtre sur l’exhaustivité mise à disposition du plus grand nombre, par l’intermédiaire d’images, de pictogrammes et de l’interactivité du monde numérique, auquel l’ouvrage donne facilement accès. C’est un pari que seules les éditions Lynx pouvaient tenter et qui mérite d’être honoré, y compris par un public non anglophone.”

Bertrand Posse, Nos Oiseaux, No 544, Volume 68/2, p 84, June 2021

“The premise of All the Birds of the World is ostensibly simple. Across sumptuous double-page spreads that are efficiently packed without feeling overcrowded, every bird species in the world (and more about that later) receives one or more stunning illustrations and a distribution map – so you know what it looks like and where it lives. But this book is so much more than that.

Diagnosably different subspecies (and more about that later too) are illustrated. And there is a mass of information crammed into very little space. In barely 25 cm2 typically allocated per species, enough detail is provided for the reader to glean that creature’s essence, and to whet the appetite to learn more.”

James Lowen, Neotropical Birding 28, pp 75-76

“Even though I have had All the Birds of the World book for only a couple of weeks, I have referred to it regularly for various reasons, but most often as bedside reading since it is an enjoyable way to browse through all the birds of the world, while dreaming about some post-pandemic birding and considering where my priorities should lie. Considering its size and the enormous amount of information contained within, it is incredibly good value for money, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a passion for the world of birds, particularly those interested in current taxonomic thinking, serious birders, and listers.”

The Birder’s Library, 19 November 2020

“All the Birds of the World is also a door stopper of a book with 967 pages and weighing 4.8 kg. It is yet another publishing and zoological milestone. The fact that the first print run sold out so quickly says it all. Which person interested in birds would not want this book? There is something wondrous about holding a book in ones hands and knowing that it has every single bird species in the world; 11,524 taxons, 20,865 illustrations and 11,558 distribution maps. For a book of its size and importance, it was priced attractively in its initial offer. All of this for Euro 65 is an outstanding offering.”

Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne, 1 November 2020, Read the full review.

“Por primera vez en la historia de la cultura y la investigación naturalista, la espectacular diversidad de aves de este planeta vivo se reúne con todo detalle en un trabajo riguroso, amable y completísimo. Un único libro colosal que rebasa las expectativas de todos aquellos amantes de la naturaleza que tienen la cabeza llena de pájaros. Algo que ya ha sido calificado por los aficionados de «vicio pajarero de suprema calidad.”
