I believe this to be the announced English-language publication of Gunter's book originally published in German titled "Schneeglockchen - Zauber in Weiss". The cover photo is different from the original book. If this is as I suspect it is a book well worth having; packed with excellent photos and not a little expert comment on the genus. And the Amazon price is pretty sharp.

My copy arrived yesterday too.  Some wonderful photos, my list for Father Christmas has expanded considerably.  I see on page 157 that Beccles has been moved from Suffolk to Somerset, it will take me hours to get to the Gala now! ;D

I have a copy of the book since October 18, something I mentioned in the October snowdrop thread. I have enjoyed reading it; a good initial summary of the species and a nice selection of cultivars and photographs afterwards.

currently enjoying my copy of the English edition, which arrrived yesterday. There are quite a few examples of dodgy proof-reading, but I particularly like the description of Timms Hill Poe on p. 155 as "A variety photographed in England, which as yet has no description."

I have the original version which is just nice to look at the photos but rather frustrating not being able to understand it.  I am presuming it is written in German? 

Just bought the English version on Amazon - thanks for the update.
