"...producing a nicely bound and printed book, with excellent reproduced illustrations, including colour photographs ... the publishers' recommended price is more than fair."
"This book is an excellent addition to the conservation biology literature and will be a valuable reference for all university libraries ... I highly recommend this book to all those who are concerned about the conversation and management of highly endangered Asian primates."
