Project members looking to learn more about the plant galls of California have been frustrated by the difficulty of obtaining copies of Ron Russo's out-of-print 2006 guide and the absence of updates. So it's terrific to read that Princeton Field Guides will be issuing Russo's Plant Galls of the Western United States in late March of 2021.
The new guide will cover 536 species of plant galls found west of the Rockies. It will include expanded coverage of desert galls and SW oak galls and over 120 species new to science.

Is there any link for pre-order yet?
Already pre-ordered mine!
You can pre-order them through Amazon at:

Thanks!
Wish I was aware of this 2 months ago before buying a copy of the 2006 guide. Thank you for sharing Nancy. I pre-ordered today!
Thank you @nancyasquith !
I can't wait to see the new edition.
Ron Russo will be issuing an Errata sometime around Christmas 2021. It will include name changes and separations (as he put it). Because he doesn't want his email published, if you would like a copy of the Errata, send me an email at lflint@earthlink.net and I will forward all the emails to him; he will then send you the Errata. Please note you will most likely come up my Spam blocker. No worries. I will retrieve your email.
