Message: <blockquote data-quote="ExMember" data-source="post: 166564">I once got in a semi argument with a Swedish keeper about that book. I told a poster the same thing about the husbandry. This swedish guy freaked out and said the book was horrible. Turns out he had a first pressing from 96. From my understanding Shultz updated the book until he got out of the hobby. In the end he realized that we had 2 different books. I think a lot of the negative reviews could be centered around that. And the fact that a lot of newbies see it as some kind of bible. Which could be bad. Sound advice for husbandry is to cross reference that stuff.</blockquote>
