Diagnosis of ill health in trees 2013 edition

[sloth]

Hi, I see on Summerfield Books that:

"Additions to the second edition include a major section of the identification of the principal wood-rotting fungi on trees, and items on water logging and exotic pests and diseases."

Does anyone have a copy? Is it worth me updating from the original edition?

Cheers all...

I was told that they were just reprints with no new additions or revisions. I don't think the AA website makes any note of changes.

 

It's a poor do when you have to ask questions like this.

Hi all,

 

I'm not aware that it's been updated...but I can't say categorically at this stage. Hence I'll find out so I'd suggest "hanging fire" on making a purchase until I post back (tomorrow now, sorry.)

No worries, cheers Paul. Reads like there is, I just wondered what exactly...

Yep, but on the other hand after 14 years much of it still bang up to date!

Hi, apologies for my delay in replying in full here.

 

The quote you/they cite is on p. vii of the 'Preface to 2nd Edition' which is dated 2000 with the 2nd impression dated 2004.

 

Essentially this is a reprint, albeit with the 'Arb Assoc' logo on the front as we have the licence for its production, NOT an updated version of the book.

 

Hoping this clarifies the situation.

 

Cheers..

Paul

Thanks for that Paul, appreciated

:001_rolleyes:Well I ordered a copy last night, so I hope my original one is pre. 2000. If it isn't does anybody want a brand new edition?
