Schnell's CPs of US and Canada Update?

[NatchGreyes]

Hey Everyone,

I was looking at more recent CP books on Amazon and noticed that Donald Schnell and Stewart McPherson had authored http://www.amazon.com/Carnivorous-Plants-United-States-Canada/dp/1908787082/. I wondered if this was an update to Donald Schnell's 2002 book of a similar name: http://www.amazon.com/Carnivorous-Plants-United-States-Canada/dp/0881925403/.

There aren't any reviews, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks,
-N

Its not really an update. It is a relatively new field guide, although some of the taxonomy is incorrect in my opinion(specifically the S. purpurea complex). A good book, specifically for Utricularia and Pinguicula. The Sarracenia section is essentially a shortened version of the field guide to Sarracenia of the US & Canada, which by the way is also a good field guide. In summary a good book for the money.
