I got this good-condition hardcover from a local thrift shop. It's a hefty, handsome book, and comes with a CD of the birdsongs described in the text. (I haven't tried the CD but it looks to be in good order.)
I've listened to lots of birds in my time, mostly in and around my yard - but that still provides a huge variety. I've read some interesting books about birds and their songs, as well, such as Birdsong by Don Stapp. This book includes details on the different calls and songs of many varieties of birds, with graphics showing the range and duration of the calls, and with many anecdotes about the author's pursuit of specific birds.
