Well I've read it cover to cover now (and the first sections twice!) and I could really gush about this book but will leave it as a 2 word review for now "Simply outstanding". Nice work Geoff.
Thanks. As ever, a one-sentence review on Amazon would be most appreciated (if you haven't already done it!).
Update for anybody interested...
The first print run of 5000 copies is now almost totally sold out, and as a result you’ll find it is currently unavailable from many sources. A new version is en-route from the printers in India, and it should go on sale (as a paperback) at the end of this month (January). This new version has a new, brighter picture on the cover – the Dark Honey Fungus of the old version having been replaced with Winter Chanterelles. The most important change is the addition of a Latin index, which is likely to make the book considerably more useful for people who want to cross-check information with books written in languages other than English. Some of the contents have been slightly re-arranged to make better use of space, which has meant some additional information could be added, including three new species. A few minor mistakes fixed. Finally the font has been changed, since some readers expressed a dislike of the rather fancy ligatured font used in the original version. There will be an official launch of this new version as a “new edition” in June, when it will become available as a hardback for the first time.
Anybody here who bought a signed first edition from me, your copy may be a little out of date but it is going to end up quite rare. This book should continue to sell a few thousand copies every year for the forseeable future, but all future copies with be the new edition and I only signed about 300 or so copies of the first edition.
