I heard a whisper that the new testament will not include the snowdrops in the first book.
-
??? ??? ???
-
Is that the first and second books Mark?
-
first and second but wasnt the only difference the extra index?
-
So not the ones from the old testament ;D
-
I think that there were a few ,and only a few different pictures,but I suppose it would be a rather thick book if they put all in it
-
where is the problem, Mark? We all are waiting for new cultivars and new pics. Because the older are in the bible, we have of course.

I heard it direct from the horse's mouth...

I see no need unless there is new information that surfaces on the ones in Volume 1. Hagen I wonder if they will give an estimate in €-$-₤ if one were to buy all the new ones. :o

No problem at all but it would save me having to buy a new copy of the original. My copy is very dirty
-
Rats - >:( - that means I'll have to buy a new copy of the Old Testament as mine has the dreadful index, and I have to look everything up in a printout of a proper index that a kind forumist sent me.

I find the species descriptions in CITES Bulbs (http://citesbulbs.myspecies.info/) very useful. Are they based on the 1999 Davis book (http://citesbulbs.myspecies.info/content/genus-galanthus) (or vice versa) does anyone know?

Perhaps they will put a complete index in the new one if we all ask for it!

Other issues notwithstanding, a complete index covering both volumes is an extremely good idea. I hope the authors follow your suggestion (if they weren't already intending to do this).

Well I did email Matt so fingers crossed 8)
-
...and here is his answer
The new book will likely include an index to all cultivars, and as I work through the chapters, all cultivars in the previous book are cross -referenced with their page numbers given, mentioned where they occur within the updated division system, to enable comparison of all like plants in both volumes.
-
Clever marketing too, as people who buy the new book will have to have the old one as well, or half the items in the index will be missing.

Gospel, according to Mark?

Does anyone know how far the writers are with The New Bible?
Isn't it published this winter?

Lina, the only right moment to print this book is in winter time. A galanthus book published and pressed in summer, no good idea ::)
