The publisher of THE AMARYLLIDACEAE OF SOUTHERN AFRICA, is closing down
in May.

We have been offered a bulk purchase for our membership.
I'm writing to gauge the interest on the part of our membership.
I estimate the price delivered to USA addresses only at $85-90 delivered.
Once we get a estimate I can get a better idea of the exact price.
There is a bit of a savings on shipping for larger number of books.
You can write me privately at arnold140@verizon.net with your interest.
Here's a description of the book.

Author: Graham Duncan, Barbara Jeppe, Leigh Voigt

Barbara Jeppe, botanical artist extraordinaire, began work on the
paintings in July 1971 and for the next 28 years she collected and painted
over 200 species of Amaryllidaceae. After her death in 1999, her daughter,
Leigh Voigt, a versatile and highly acclaimed artist herself, picked up
where her mother left off and painted most of the subsequently described
species. This thorough easy-to-use guide is the first book dedicated
entirely to the 18 genera in the family Amaryllidaceae in southern Africa.
Apart from the over 240 exceptional watercolor plates there are detailed
distribution maps and magnificent photographs showing plants in typical
habitat conditions. There is an index, glossary and bibliography. The text
has been written by one of the most knowledgeable horticulturists and
botanists in the field, the inimitable Graham Duncan, who has written many
books and articles on bulbs. The comprehensive text includes a full
description of each species, a short history of the discovery of each
plant, nomenclature, medical and other uses, various aspects of
cultivation, pollination, locality preference and affinities with similar
species. There is a separate chapter on the cultivation of the species in
the summer and winter rainfall areas in southern Africa and also in the
northern hemisphere. This eagerly awaited book will be an asset to every
botanical book lover's library.
