Which Field Guide For Pacific Island Birding?

I usually like to bring a field guide with me on a birding trip.  Our June trip to French Polynesia was originally scheduled for Feb 2015 and I brought it forward to June 2014 after concerns about award availability and potential devaluations.  I booked the flights in May so had no time to order a suitable guide book.  If I had, this is the one I would have gone for.  There aren’t a lot of birding guides for this region but I am familiar with the Princeton series and they consistantly deliver excellent products.
