Hate to tell you this, but I picked it up on Amazon for less than $5 (even including shipping)!

There you go..now there is no excuse for anyone not being able to afford to buy one!! Thanks for telling everyone Mike...

Exellent news. I got mine off Amazon too...but was poking around Ebay last night. Just thought it was worth a mention.

I got mine for under 10$ including shipping.

Thanks for the fun information, all.

It was another sunny warm winter day here in Scottsdale, so I went to the VNSA Charity Used Book Sale in Phoenix like I do every year. It's one of the largest used book sales in North America. Fun tradition for book lovers. I picked up quite a few fun gardening books (including a neat old houseplant book from 1929 with several houseplant pics from the first edition in 1908).

In any case, I also picked up a fun small Hippeastrum book for a dollar that I imagine most of you have, but here's a pic of it just for fun.

Happy gardening all,
Grant
ps: mini-album of fifteen or so pics of some of the more interesting gardening books is in the album below

Here is a link that might be useful: Old Plant Books and some old houseplant pics from them

All that for $7.OO!! I am insanely jealous although I probably would only have bought the amaryllis book..any older named pictures in it??

Oh that lil book is interesting! When whas it launched?

Thanks for the replies. I didn't mean to hijack this fun thread, so I'll start a new one with a couple of pics from the old book. It's fun. Happy gardening! Grant
