South Asian butterflies on exhibition

"Butterflies of the Oriental Region. Part 2" is another illustrated reference work on butterflies (minus the skippers) signed Bernard D'Abrera. This time, he covers the south Asian butterflies of the families Nymphalidae, Libytheidae, Acraeidae, Satyridae and Amathusiidae. I don't deny that the book is aesthetically pleasing, but it nevertheless gets extremely boring after a while. There's no real information, and since all the butterflies shown are from the British Museum collection, the book looks like an extensive exhibition catalogue. Nothing wrong with that, if you're a hard line Papilionoidea aficionado or a collector of rare books, but for the general audience this work could be too narrow. I give it four stars, on account of the butterflies!
