William Doreen's lily book, Species Lilies of the World, arrived last week. I sent copies to two reviewers to confirm my initial decision to not proceed to get copies, based on a need for proofreading, incomplete descriptions, lack of photos, and other problems. 

Everyone who contacted me by email was notified. I got 2 "failure to deliver" messages, and will send messages out again to everyone I did not hear from the first time. 

Thank you to everyone who responded, and sorry, this book did not meet some basic quality standards.  :(

Forgot to mention that McRae's book is available, and a very good resource.
Lilies:  A guide for Growers and Collectors, by Edwin Austin-McRae.

ksayce,

Thank You! 
I purchased Edwin Austin-McRae's book second hand at a very reasonable price.
It is very well written and well illustrated.
