Summary: It's disingenous, that's why
Comment: There might very well be a valid reason to buy two versions of the same book. I completely agree. However, it's vital that the consumer *know* that before he or she makes that purchase. Amazon has one book listed with one title and author, the other listed with a different title and different author. To 'recommend' that the consumer buy both books (at a very minimal discount) without stating flat out that they're both the same book is false advertising and most likely illegal in the United States.
However, it appears Amazon figured it out finally and withdrew the offer, so I've edited out my earlier "review".

Summary: "THE" authority on European birds!
Comment: No need to panic...no need for warnings. Maybe it wasn't obvious to the last reviewer, but the reason why one may want to consider buying both books is obvious: this book is a magnificent reference edition, not to be carried out in the field, which is where the "Birds of Europe" paperback comes in. It is the same book and the authors are the same (it's not just Killian Mullarney in the paperback edition) but it is not an uncommon thing as they serve two different purposes. "The Complete Guide to the Birds of Europe" IS the U.S. version of the "Collins Bird Guide", the much praised U.K. version which, in my opinion, offers truly helpful reviews. As far as this book goes, being a Sibley fan, I consider it the European counterpart of the Sibley guide...and oh, the price is good too.

Summary: BE WARNED!
Comment: WARNING!! - "The Birds of Europe" by Killian Mullarney and "The Complete Guide to the Birds of Europe" by Lars Svensson are THE EXACT SAME BOOK! I don't know why Amazon is trying to entice you to buy both books together (it's probably a slip of the software) BUT BE WARNED!!!
