New Nepenthes Books

[macamus3]

My "Pitcher Plants of the Old World" Vol. 1 & 2 finally arrived yesterday. These books are tremendous. Stayed up til 2AM reading Vol. 1. Any nepenthes enthusiast needs to have these books in their library.

Good for you! I hope that means mine are making their way across the US to California! (5 1/2 weeks and counting...)

Cheers,
Mac

Redfern sent pre-ordered copies back in June via surface (sea) mail, without offering the air option.

I just talked with Stewart and he confirmed the preorder books BEGAN shipping June 19th via surface. I am sure they didn't get every preorder shipped on that day. So 4-6 weeks after that date roughly.

I just received both books yesterday, what have now been referred to as my shameless "pitcher plant porn," considering that I was up well after midnight flipping through them. The books are indeed beautiful and far more readable than the previous tweedy, pith-helmet laden "scholarly" texts, most now long-out-of-print and often running hundreds of dollars. Strangely enough, I've seen both titles at California vendors for weeks, though it took over six to get them shipped from the UK . . .

Both books came today...

Holy Crap!~!

I had to get a bib so the drool would not make my pages stick together.

Forgot to post this.

Does anyone else have Volume #1 that the binding upside down? Or do I have a very rare error printing? LOL

Oh man I cant wait to get mine. Stew does such great work and I have heard this is the most spectacular yet.

My copies finally arrived today. It took just over seven weeks. I want to say it was worth the wait, but I wish they had given people that made advance orders the option to make an additional payment for air shipment. That's with hindsight, of course.

That said, the books are beautiful! A massive amount of text and loads of beautiful images. Can't wait to dig in tonight...

(BTW, for those of you that are within a reasonable distance, Stewart McPherson and Barry Rice are joining Peter D'Amato at California Carnivores August 23rd.)
