Jeremy Thomas & Richard Lewington's The Butterflies of Britain & Ireland has been fully revised and is due for publication this month, from British Wildlife Publishing.

The hardback is going to retail at £34.95 and the paperback version will be £18.95. The dust jacket will sport a Swallowtail.

Classic work that should be on every butterfly enthusiasts bookshelf.

I didn't know, Bill, so thanks for pointing it out.

If they've improved on the first edition, I'll be fascinated to see how

Hi Tony,
Jeremy was given a little leeway to update a few chapters, to take into account recent happenings such as the Long-tailed Blue annus mirabilis. This additional information means that any serious butterflyer is going to have to buy it!
BWs, Neil

I'd like to do just that, so if anyone finds a means of purchasing it, could they post a link on here so others can do likewise?

I think I shall visit Richard's stand at Birdfair, and get a signed one!!!!!

Yes indeed Roger...and I may well do likewise

"When in doubt...venture out"

....and I may well slip you a few bob, Bill, so you can get ME one too!!

Just received a review copy and it looks fabulous! A review will appear in due course. Changes from the previous edition that I've noticed so far are:

Cryptic Wood White now included (to replace Real's Wood White)
Long-tailed Blue 2013 influx discussed (and distribution map updated!)
Contintental Swallowtail 2013 influx included

Will post more details as I uncover the differences (and get input from Jeremy and Richard).

While I've been sent the hardback, this edition is also available in paperback.

Cheers,

- Pete
