This book is out of print.  It is still valuable to the birders of Peru because the plates are all in one section and they can remove the plates for field work. Also the spanish names of the birds are given.  The eager Peruvian birders need field guides.  If you are willing to donate your copy please contact the webmaster.  Of course they would also appreciate copies of the newer field guide.  See Working with Birders Exchange.
