Subject: RE: BS: Reference Books you OWN and use often
Heheh, nice one, Shimrod. I'm still with my first edition of Stace and will just have to risk being out of date with my Latin names. I still dip into my CTW Excursion Flora occasionally for old time's sake. I also have the New Atlas of the British Flora with which I can continually disappoint myself when I think I've found something new (someone else always got there first!), but my current favourite for a quick looking-up is Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland by Marjorie Blamey and the two Fitters.
Floras aside, The Beethoven Quartets by Joseph Kerman is my most thumbed book.
