Did that say the book is $30 (-$3 for volume discount) then $18 ($90/5) for shipping!?! Heck, send me the plants instead then! :crazy:
Actually $45 might not be unreasonable. How many maps and color photos does it have?

It is a nice book with lots of photos and simple descriptions of each species (no complex terminology is used). You will drool over the Cyp pages, especially C. tibeticum. There are lots of cool species in the preserve that most in the west no nothing about and this book covers all known ones (67 species, 2 varieties, and 32 genera).
