Hollom also produced the supplemental The Popular Handbook of Rarer British Birds, in 1960. It described over 100 species omitted, on the grounds of their scarcity in Britain, from the Popular Handbook, about 30 of which had not occurred there at the time of the original Handbook.
New plates were specially commissioned from David Reid-Henry (and one, of a Baikal Teal, by Peter Scott), to add to those re-used from the Handbook.
