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.

I heard a whisper that the new testament will not include the snowdrops in the first book.
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 ::)
