What's your neo wish list for 2012?

[Neodex]

Hakumin you are a star ! Those translations are very useful and also you cleared up something that I'd been wondering about; alternative kanji ?

Jim as for the books, I had books 2-4, and just got the 2011 neo book and the hard cover book #1. The book #2 you have has the most types covered and is the bible for me. The other books are very good as well ... perhaps the biggest overlap is between books 3 and 4 where a few photos are repeated. These two (3 and 4) are all pictures of plants in flower and so the focus is on flower types ... so you get a lot of different pink/magenta types for example. The other books, in comparison to #2, benefit from larger pictures. The most recent books I have got (2011 and #1), have the most unusual plants, more beanies and variations on the "Kinbotan family" as I call it. In short I'd always recommend getting more books ... the only danger is that it inflates your wish list !
