Marshall & Haes is still a good book for ID'ing Ortheptera but it really needs revising and re-writing now. Having been written 20 years ago the distribution details and maps are woefully incorrect now and could be very misleading to those just getting into the subject.
These days I tend to use "Grasshoppers & Crickets of Britain & Ireland" by Evans & Edmondson, a great book in every aspect.

Interesting - it's good to have this sort of recommendation .
