I was doing some browsing at Amazon and came across this interesting advance notice for a Field Guide Companion (?) coming out in May, 2006:
    
    "Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide Companion : A Comprehensive Resource for Identifying North American Birds,  
752 pages,  $18.48 and eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping.  You can preorder now.  "

Too bad it won't be available for Christmas.  ;-)
