1981. 40 years old. Forget it.

Modern name bee diseases.

I already have a copy.

Likewise, an excellent book.

Likewise, an excellent book.

I wonder, what makes it so excellent. British bee disease knowledge is very old-fashioned.

I do not read 40 years old disease books.
.
I was 30 years old when the book was writen.

I have updated my knowledge from new researching.
When I compare disease knowledge between different countries, they are strangely different.
In Britain the most important pathology book is the law book. ... Makes no sense.

The diseases haven't changed..and no-one is forcing you to read it. It's considered a classic book and I'm quite surprised that someone of your age and with your educational background has not read it 40 years ago. It has become a collectors item, often sells for up to £100. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/...by=17&an=bailey&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title4

They have changed

- 1980 it was not varroa, and no medicine in West

- chalkbrood. I remember when it was said that " chalk brood does not kill hives". In the year 2000 it was said that chalk brook makes serious honey yield losses. Varroa spreaded chalkbroo vigorously.

- i do not know the history of EFB, but nowadays it is not a bad disease. You just change the genepool of bees.

- varroa has become more serious than on Apistan times.

- nosema is difficult and a strange disease. Does it need medicine really?

- "do nothing" is very popular method to nurse diseases. New beekeepers prefer to listen humbug than university knowledge.

- the world is full of false knowledge. Dificult to know what is truth and what is false trying to get money to projects.

Presumably Finman is not a religious man or a reader of the classics as books in these categories are hundreds of years old. Maybe he reads more recent texts like "50 shades of grey" (which I found my 90 hyr old mother reading three years ago much to my surprise!)
