Book offer

I purchased my copy of Grow Bulbs from Silverhill Seeds before the
PBS group offer. The cost of postage was almost as much as the cost
of the book. I believe at the time Arnold organized this group order
he estimated the cost to ship it out of the country and concluded
that it would cost less for people who did not live in the United
States to buy it elsewhere if they wanted it. In other words there
would be no benefit to overseas members if the extra postage cost was
added and it would be a lot of extra work for Arnold. Silverhill
Seeds still offers this book.

The Pacific Bulb Society only charges an extra $5 for membership for
people who do not live in the United States. This does not cover the
extra charge to mail the Bulb Garden to members who do not live in
the United States. When I was on the Board there was no discussion
about raising the rates for those members because international
members were valued.
