Review of "Bill Bailey's Remarkable Guide to British Birds" on 'Goodreads'

The main thing I have learnt from this book is that Bill Bailey has a drinking problem, I’ve never seen so main stains from tea/coffee (I didn’t lick the pages so not sure which one it was), there were splashes and rings from his mug all over the pages. This does remind me of a Mr Bean book I read as a kid, the stains, ripped pages, images stuck to page and funny little illustrations were done by Mr. Bean too.

The layout makes this a fun read, each of Bill’s favourite birds gets 4 pages, you get a photo, a write up about the bird, it’s plumage and reminisces of when Bill first spotted the bird, you also get a bonus fact and a bizarre little illustration. (See blog post for a sample)

When watching Bill perform live I’ve always thought he was very birdlike, he always seems wide-eyed …
