Dear me, this is depressing, if not  entirely unexpected news from Jane.

This book from Oron Peri  is one that is most eagerly awaited  - so 
disappointing if the
publication by the AGS will be late - again.

I recall that "Mountain Flower Walks, the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa" 
book by Margaret and Henry Taylor
  for the AGS seemed to take forever to appear.

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.
