Thank you for the congratulations, I am glad you like the book. I was honoured to co-edit it with Yasusuke Nishiyama. I did not check the Japanese species text, of course, although I did question some of the English words in the Japanese text when I was uncertain, or there was an error. There is no English text, unfortunately, as I was not given a translation of the Japanese text.
Adam.

Jean-Marc,
Just to clarify, the sole author is Makoto Nakae. Yasusuke Nishiyama and myself were editors.
Adam.

I also got the book right before christmas. Payment, sending and everything went smoothly. The quality of the book itself and the pictures are top notch. What im a tiny bit dissapointed about is that male/female is not pictured for all the species. I can understand if male/female of said species looks almost identical. But even species that has very distinct gender dimorphism is only pictured with male or female. I dont understand the reasoning behind the choice they made?
All in all im happy with it though.

I think the reason was space and size. Presumably the publishers decided that it would not be cost effective to enlarge the book sufficiently to illustrate both sexes of most species. Personally I would have liked to see undersides of some species that are difficult to identify too.
I suppose that this is one advantage of a website over a printed book.
Adam.
