Cyclamen

Alberto Grossi asked,
looking for a book about Cyclamen, I have found three ones written by
Christopher Grey-Wilson:
- Cyclamen: a guide for gardeners, horticulturists and botanists (2003)
- Cyclamen: a guide for gardeners, horticulturists and botanists (1997)
- The genus cyclamen: a Kew magazine monograph (1988).
Who may tell me the difference between them?
All three books have the same basic contents, but were revised for the new
editions in each case. Thus, the 2003 book gives Grey-Wilson's most recent
view of the genus.
It should be noted that some of the classifications he proposes are
somewhat controversial among Cyclamen specialists. Nonetheless, there is a
great deal of useful information in this book.
