Alberto Grossi asked,

>- Cyclamen: a guide for gardeners, horticulturists and botanists (2003)
>- Cyclamen: a guide for gardeners, horticulturists and botanists (1997)
>- The genus cyclamen: a Kew magazine monograph (1988).
>Who may tell me the difference between them?

All three books have the same basic contents, but were revised for the new 
editions in each case. Thus, the 2003 book gives Grey-Wilson's most recent 
view of the genus.

It should be noted that some of the classifications he proposes are 
somewhat controversial among Cyclamen specialists. Nonetheless, there is a 
great deal of useful information in this book.
