| I received a copy today and am busy reading through the thoughts and observations and looking at the beautifully done photos. If you would like a very nice tomato fix for winter entertainment, get a copy and have fun. |

| Places other than Amazon where you can find it for sale, if not now, shortly, include: Tomato Growers Supply ( TGS) Southern Exposure Seed Exchange *SESE I think possibly Victory Seeds, but didn't check And the SSE( Seed Savers) Public catalog which is also online, Hope that helps, Carolyn |

| If you want it quickly the above sound like reasonable outlets. TGS and some of those other suppliers are like $20 plus shipping, more expensive. My opinion is to save some money on Amazon or just get one used later unless you are a book collector. Like all garden books, It will show up on eBay almost new, at half price or less, sooner or later. Often you can get gardening books on eBay in like new condition. I still need to get a look at Amy Goldman's: which is a $37.50 beautiful hardcover coffee table book from what I can tell and as is typical can be had even on Amazon for $15 in like new condition at the moment. The last heirloom book I got ...like new ... I'm going to list for some other happy person on eBay (It's basically a book exchange for those of us who don't accumulate) and I'll come out at least even with no complaints which I would recommend to anyone who doesn't like accumulating. No library here. This forum is superb and internet resources doubling every year for tomato information. No one mentioned, but Lehoullier's is $10 on Amazon on Kindle. Amazon has Lehoullier discounted for under $15, for the paperback, and if you wait till you you have a $35 order, shipping is free. If it doesn't meet your expectation, you can return it in 30 days very economically and with preprinted return labels & no questions or hassle. Hard to beat and what I consider important as a purchaser. I hope all these authors do well promoting their books, as each one likely has been frustrated with at least one thing dealing with a publisher :-( PC |

| Ken B who is with SESE has also posted if you get it from them if you order just one pack of seeds with it it goes by regular mail, not media mail which takes longer. Carolyn |

| I ordered it from Target for $13 and change and got free shipping. It ships the end of the month. I can hardly wait! |

| Great find Linda! Target is estimating for shipment around 12/30. It is $13.86 at Target, $0.77 less than Amazon though Amazon may ship a couple of days sooner; Target collects sales tax in most/all states, so mine was nearly $15 but I ordered. I like the part of paying with PayPal since I don't trust Target with card info I read the first page on Amazon and don't like it, but hopefully the main part of the book isn't as poorly written and researched, JMO and it is too soon to tell. The book seems pretty thick so that sounds promising. Linda's tip at Target: shipping is free, no minimum purchase required, if the book is ordered before Xmas. (Thanks) Target link for Dr. Lehoullier's Tomato Book PC |
