Non the less still superb reference. On the whole, this is a book that people pick up and browse. I own both 1981 copy and 2006 copy just for this reason.

Please Roger Philips, if there is a reprint, please keep all the photos as big as possible, I do not mind paying extra as your book is just superb. but that's nothing to do with the book, only a day late. just humour them, its a bridge to get people interested :-) As an added bonus also has that great new book smell :-) (Is that just me that likes that? Great book but i own the older version about printed in 1981 which is 30% bigger and the photos were much easier to see as they were bigger but this 2006 reprinted in smaller version A4 size.
)Not sure why I pay for Prime as it didn't turn up on time. The book is excellent, with fantastic clear photographs and informative text. Since the book is used as an id book, the photos should be big enough to see clearly.
If i find the 2006 version photo is too small i refer back to the 1981 copy. so some of the photos got shrunken like the blewit photos it used to be 3/4 size vs 50% smaller. .
Leave it in your lounge and when you have guests they browse it and then try and make funny fungi jokes.
