All 26 Volumes of Birding World
(1988 - 2013)
– plus
Twitching
(1987) – are now available on a single DVD in digital format for
viewing on Computers, Tablets and Smartphones.
Each volume (12 issues per annum) is presented on the DVD as an individual pdf file. Making Birding World available digitally in pdf format provides the maximum flexibility for users: there is no need for special software or an ‘app’ to be installed. Birding World content can be viewed on your computer, tablet and smartphone.
This digital archive of back copies
(324 issues in total) is an essential birding reference. Individual
files can easily be customised for personal use with Adobe Acrobat
(such as isolating and saving identification articles on species of
particular interest to be kept separately, eg on a smartphone), but
the complete 3.6GB (all 27 volumes) should fit easily on any modern
smartphone.
Two Indexes are provided in pdf format: one a comprehensive Index and
one a quick-search Index of all the main articles. The pdf files (Vol
7 onwards) are also fully searchable for all article titles, headings,
subheadings, authors’ names and all captions text (and therefore all
photographs) using standard pdf search facilities. Similarly, articles
of particular interest can be bookmarked.
In addition to all the single volumes, the latest 11 volumes of
Birding World (Volumes 16-26) are provided as one fully searchable
pdf, suitable for use on faster computers.
The older volumes have been converted from non-digital originals and
do not appear of such high quality as the later volumes.
The contents of this DVD are subject to Copyright restrictions and are for single personal use only.
The cost of the DVD is just £85.00 (p&p free UK; other destinations add £3.00 per item).
Anyone who has already purchased the Vol 1-25 DVD may purchase a special Update DVD covering Volume 26 for just £10 (p&p free UK; other destinations add £3.00 per item).
If your computer or tablet does not have a DVD Drive but has a USB Socket, the whole contents can be supplied on a flash-drive instead of a DVD for an additional £5.00.
The entire contents can also be sent online too, for the same price as the DVD (but with no overseas postage supplement).
