McNally Robinson NYC

by Les Beletsky
(Chronicle, $45.00)
Spring is here, and the birds are - ahem - bonking. This book lets you listen to recordings of them singing. It’s like a feathered World Music compilation. Find your nearest immigrant, play her a birdsong from her native land, and watch her swoon with nostalgia. The racket-tailed drongo had that effect on me. With this book, you get to look
at great pictures, listen to the sounds of the planet, and push nifty buttons. It’s perfect.
