Have you tried the AA direct ?

 

There was 500 copies printed on the first run, but I think they're just about all gone. Maybe a few left.

 

A second edition/reprint may be on the cards in the near future.

Got the book today and what a really great well thought out book. Excellent pictures as well. Well worth it.

Guy Watson did a fine job of getting it all together.

 

A very useful tool to take out into the field

Indeed! Some thought has been put into that one...!

It raised an ironic, inward smile as I read the descrition on the AA site/ Ive lost count of the number of times I read/been told not to rely on photographic evidence to ID, everything from fungi to P&D and stress related conditions ! Even being slated as "armchair arboriculturalist/ And here we are looking at an AA endorsed guide promoting just that process lol !

Talk about double standards huh ?

One of the remits Tim, was to try & deliver a series of shots (studio-R Phillips & in situ-others) at various stages of developement & desication, to aid an overall identification during different stages of a fruitbodies lifespan.

(see pages 26/27, G resinaceum for example)

 

To be honest, in the time frame for prep & publication, that was never going to be completely acheivable.

 

Possibly something for the next edition perhaps.

Thanks for the reply fella !

Honestly, I dont mean to be so "down" on it ! So much of what we read in the texts available is increasingly being shown to be either wrong, or as a result of the constant "flux" of the associations currently, not complete/ Is it sensible to take it as anything more than a "snapshot' - a kinda timeframe related statement? So much seems to surprise; host associations, knowledge (certainties) about strategy, climate related migrations and so on !

Im all for it David- I'll seek out a look at the text when I next get the opportunity !
