Sounds like it will be delayed.
Perhaps the AGS is trying to build a good number for production first.

Oron Peri's /Bulbs of the Eastern Mediterranean /is indeed a very
valuable reference book. However, I would be profoundly surprised if it
appears "in time for a holiday gift." I just read the first third of the
proofs, and have not yet received more. The manuscript and images have
been at the press for several years. The photos are indeed beautiful,
and many species familiar to few of us are covered, especially the bulbs
of the desert and adjacent mountains. Most of the photos were taken in
habitat.

Members of the Alpine Garden Society get a nice discount on the pre-order.
Shipping is available to the US.
Bulbs of the Eastern Mediterranean by Oron Peri will be published in
November/December, with illustrations of more than 400 species. The
Eastern
Mediterranean countries of Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Jordan,
Cyprus
and north-east Egypt offer a rich and varied bulbous flora. In this field
guide more than 400 species are illustrated with over 600 beautiful
images,
making it an essential reference work for everyone with an interest in
bulbous plants.
