Dear PBS members living in Europe, You will probably be aware that the new long awaited Gladiolus Field Guide by the late Rachel and Rod Saunders of Silverhill Seeds is about to be launched. As an exclusive service to our membership we would like to place a joint order for our European Members. Timing and pricing is being negotiated. We need to know approximately how many members who live in Europe (in this case we do not limit our service to EU addresses) are interested to purchase this book in order to estimate the volume of the joint order. There will be another joint order for the USA but it makes no sense to have the books sent to the US first and from there to Europe; we will order directly from South Africa. Distribution of the individual copies will be done by the EU BX director Martin Bohnet in Germany. garak@code-garak.de We regret very much that we cannot extend this offer to members outside Europe or the USA. For members to whom this applies it might be best to get in touch with Silverhill Seeds. Today I followed the Zoom webinar where the book was launched. It is a field guide. There are very many excellent photos of all the Gladioli of South Africa in their habitat. The book was made possible through a joint effort of many people, honouring the immense work of Rachel and Rod Saunders posthumously. Please reply to me privately as soon as possible if you are interested, a reply has no obligation to finally buy the book. Bye for now Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
