Review: Not entirely accurate

I haven't read this book - just the sample, but I have already found one major mistake - it lists that there are three species of Sifaka: Coquerel, Diademed and Golden-crowned. There are, in fact, nine species. Once these may have been considered subspecies, but since then they have been divided up into more. The western sifaka species are: Coquerel, Verreaux, Crowned, Deckens. And the Eastern species are: Diademed, Milne-Edwards, Perriers, Silky and the Golden Crowned. Whether the book covers all these species (and their close relations, the indri and avahi lemurs) I cannot know for sure without purchasing it, but it seems the information is out of date - despite being published in 2013.
