Jam-packed with photographs...this book really is superb and the quality of the photographs excellent. I'd say that you should make room on your bookshelf for this but I suspect you will use it so frequently it will rarely be on the shelf! * Bulletin of the Amateur Entomologists' Society (February 2009) * A real breakthrough...There are two main points which make this book such a winner: the photographs and the range...I enthusiastically recommend this book. * The London Naturalist (December 2009) * For relative beginners as myself, a good field guide is essential and the recently published British Moths & Butterflies by Chris Manley ticks all the right boxes as an introduction to this fascinating groupd of insects. * thevisitor.co.uk (6 August 2009) * One of the most comprehensive guides to the subject ever published. * Bexley Times (26 February 2009) *
