Pocket Guide Intro
The booklet itself is well done, but not very extensive re: the wildlife of Costa Rica. This booklet was offered as a bundle with another book I purchased. It seemed to be a bit pricey to me, even at a discounted rate, for what I received.

Nice laminated quick guide to common animals/birds
For die-hard bird fans, you'll need the BIG Birds of Costa Rica book. These are great for families, casual wildlife fans.

GOOD ENOUGH FOR A FIRST TIME VISIT TO COSTA RICA
It sufficed as a guide for my week long (and first visit) to Costa Rica. Although this pocket field guide is extremely limited - only listed three species of butterflies - it did enable us to identify the difference between Howler, Spider and Capuchin monkeys. However, if you are spending more time in the rainforest, I would recommend a more detailed guide for your area(s) of interest. Enjoy.
