New Zilis book

[twoblackdogs]

I haven't been lurking much as school winds down for this semester (2 more weeks thank goodness!) and didn't see anything recently on this - so forgive me if this is old news! just got this on email from my local hosta group and thought I would share so you can hint to others for Xmas lists.

I'm thinking that I will probably want to see a copy before I order it, though it's bound to be worth every penny.
I wonder if the state of the economy is going to put a damper on the sales of this book...hard to say.
I'm glad it's finally at the preorder stage, anyway, and look forward to seeing it before long. It's almost
reached the proportions of a modern-day myth.

The BIG question is, when will it be availabel in Europe. Not for a christmas prescent this year I'm sure! Allways hopeful though.

Bob, I gather Danny van Eechaute is putting together a list of people interested in the book. Seem to recall reading something about it on Jeroen's forum. You can contact Danny @ Joos Vijdtdreef 16, 9800 Deinze Tel: 0032(9)380 12 83 or through his website Hostacollectie.
