This arrived today, essential stuff for whimper hunters and mythbusters. At £11.45 for 450 pages it has to be worth it. I have just dipped in for a few minutes and will post a review once I have ploughed through it.

'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

It had big words in it.
Worth the money, learned, scientific and great to dip into.
The distribution maps are small scale- you will not be able to identify which loch/river has which species.
Dispels a few myths on the basis of science that some folks will find controversial- particularly about pike!
