Many thanks Adam

I think I'll invest in a copy of the Field Guide to Moths of GB & Ireland.

Thanks Graham - I see there is a spiral bound version which is much cheaper than the traditional book - I assume the contents are the same - but somehow I think I'd still prefer the book.

The contents are much reduced- all the same species illustrated but less text, eg no food plant info, etc. An advantage of the field version is that the text is opposite the relevant illustrations. An updated version of the original format with new species recorded since original came out, updated distribution + some extra ID help is just out.
