Basically the new Guidebook will have the same
format as earlier editions. The majority of the information provided in the
current edition of the Guidebook is good and provides Rex Breeders with a
useful resource. I believe that all of the variety articles should be
review by the authors and the membership and revised as needed.
Additionally, I would like to add several new articles and update the
pictures of the varieties.
