Since the first edition of the book, there have been a handful of pinyin and Chinese character updates/changes along the way. Now, there are over 30 updated photos. They either correct misidentified/adulterated herbs, or they are a better representation than existing photos. The new books also have sharper photos, and the color is more accurate than the 1st edition. Check the VMMCH-Rev2-Changes PDF for major changes. 03.05.2010 - Visual Materia Medica 2nd Edition
