From the Author:

Development has continued at a rapid pace since the last guide (2005). Many new areas have been discovered, old areas have been reappraised, much-talked-about-but-never-tried projects have been climbed and there are more people bouldering than ever before. Over the last five years limestone bouldering in the Peak has seen a resurgence of interest, but perhaps the biggest change in the small, introverted, world of bouldering has been the increased development of `highballing'. Many grit routes that were once regarded as ankle-breaking solos are now regularly approached ground-up above a pile of mats and a group of spotters, and the line between bouldering and short solos has been truly blurred. In this guide there's more to do in all styles and at all grades than in the last one. As long as you remain keen and uninjured, weather permitting, there's a lifetime's worth of bouldering in this guide to waste your time on.
