Very thorough book, great drawings, but difficult to use when trying to identify a particular bird

This is a very thorough book, with LOTS of birds. The information is great, and the hand-drawn birds are very well done. But it takes me forever to find the bird I want to identify. If I don't know whether it's a wren, sparrow, thrush, etc, I have to look through every page until I find a close visual match. Maybe I'll get better use of the book once I learn more about bird identification.
