First edition

The Handbook of the Birds of India and Pakistan was published in ten volumes, by OUP India, between 1968 and 1974. A second edition of the handbook was published between 1978 and 2001.

The compact edition had new plates by John Henry Dick. A companion volume to the compact edition A Pictorial Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent comprising the new plates and very brief text was also published in 1983.
