Quite simply the best in the field.The first two editions were already established classics...This brand-new edition maintains the brilliance of its predecessors (the finest illustrations and best text around) and enhances it with an impressive update.There can be few moth enthusiasts without a well-thumbed copy of this book on their shelves. Whether you have an earlier version or not this edition has much new information,maintains the previous high standard,and is well worth adding to your library - it won't remain unread for long.If you are after just one tome on the larger moths of Britain and Ireland then this is it.It is hard work to find fault with this book...Wholly reliable.The most important book on moths published since Skinner.An excellent updated version of a well-loved guide.
