I have this fantastic book from 1994,
but it is in black and white and sometimes the pictures puzzle me . Do you know if there is a colored version or another book with equal high standard for sale somewhere?

Re: Sedumbook
Snap! Somehow I have two of these books.
I heard there was a second edition in colour, but I must have got that wrong, because I can't find it.

Re: Sedumbook
I have this and there is a section of colour photos, for identification and then black and white photos in the text. It is the best book for information and identification of Sedums.
After reading Keith's comment, I should have said that mine is a hardback, which is why it has plenty of colour photos. I was not aware there was a soft cover version.

Re: Sedumbook
Yours is the print on demand softcover edition, Harry, which was authorised after the original book went out of print, and from memory - I have only seen this version once - the colour photos of the original edition are completely omitted and not even present in black and white. Timber Press authorised a number of their titles to be produced in this way, but you are never told of this major omission if you purchase it.

Keith
