Been looking at some of the publications on this site

Some interesting titles. Which of these books do arbtalk folk recommend? Some of them are pretty pricey so I don't want to invest on something I'm not going to find useful.

 

Has anyone got the Tree Climbers Companion 3rd edition? I wonder what the differences are to the 2nd. I used to work with the guy who's illustrations are used in the Companion and he didn't know there was a 3rd edition!

Dirk Lingens TreeClimber Knotbook.....most excellent!

I've heard that - not bad for £13.50 either but they are after 6.50 for p+p second class! I might be better getting a few books in one order or chat to them on the phone.

My mistake - Its the Tree Climbers Guide thats the 3rd edition and there is no 3rd edition of the tree climbers companion. I got Bryan confused too!
