I have several copies to hand but none newer than a 9th edition of 1946. I see NBB have a 16th edition, with ten additional pages (110 vs. 100).
The 9th edition recounts Method 1, a variation on Method 1, Method 2, and a variation on Method 2, all in chapter 1, then other swarm control methods in chapter 2. Do any of the later versions add a Method 3 or such like of Snelgrove board manipulations, or are the additional 10 pages merely further prefaces, other methods, or appendices?
I have seen a reference to Snelgrove's 3rd & 4th methods, but I really don't need a fifth copy of the book unless it actually contains something extra...!
