These may have been mentioned before, but two bulb-related books of great interest I think, will be published in a few months by Timber Press. These are: Buried Treasures: Finding and Growing the World's Choicest Bulbs By Jānis Rukšāns Publ. date: June 15, 2007 http://timberpress.com/books/isbn.cfm/… buried_treasures/ruksans Calochortus: Mariposa Lilies & Their Relatives By Mary E. Gerritsen and Ron Parsons Publ. date: July 15, 2007 http://timberpress.com/books/isbn.cfm/… gerritsen What I didn't know until recently is that if you go to the book's page (given in the links above), there's a place where you can enter your email address and Timber Press will notify you by email when the book is available. But even better, "signing up entitles you to a 30% discount plus free shipping when the book becomes available, as well as allowing you to order the book up to a month before it arrives in stores."
