Gary, I haven't checked but doubt that you are right when you say that some information contained in the original Pizzey illustrated by Roy Doyle was omitted in subsequent volumes illustrated by Frank Knight? I doubt that very much. I was at the launch of the first Pizzey & Knight in Melbourne and after the launch when Graham was mingling with the crowd over drinks, I asked him did I need to keep the previous version because it appeared to me that there was less text and therefore less information. He returned to the speakers dais, grabbed the microphone, relayed my question to the audience and assured everyone that this latest version contained all the information that there was in the earlier Field Guide.
