The Genus Lachenalia - a new book

I think the cost of this book is fair, given the print run ( most likely
less than 5000), and the impressive page count of 600+, nearly three times
that of other Kew monographs. This will be thicker than a bible.  We all
complain that printing is going away, yet we also complain when books of
high quality are offered too.

We should support Kew, and encourage the high quality printing and
information they provide.

If not, we can wait for the digital copy, which will surely be offered for
much less - remember, as of last month, there are now more digital books
sold on Amazon than printed books.
