Buy Genera Palmarum II... wholesale!

[Carlo Morici]

Some days ago we got to Tenerife many copies of Genera Palmarum II. Kewbooks offered a special price with free shipment. I posted these images in the Spanish subforum, but I think it is good to show them to everybody.

Just enjoy these pictures and buy a copy!

... lastly a picture of my owner: Plinio. He often sleeps on the book.

Funny that you should post this, I just joined IPS and ordered the book.

One of my favorite pictures from the book! Ravenea xerophylla. Any guesses on how old it is?

My cat is guarding my book with his life! I bribed him with some catnip.

My GP II arrived here in Hawai'i yesterday. I don't know how I will ever get any garden work done now! I made a promise to myself that I will start at the first page, and absorb every page before ever looking ahead even a few pages. I'm hoping this will make each day like yesterday, a thrill a minute! From what I have seen so far this magnificent work is a real stunner, a real treasure!

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who had a part in this creation.

Plinio & friend have great taste in literature.

Violet guards my copy and has a read every now and then.

No, it is just one cat per 10 books.

...I made a promise to myself that I will start at the first page, and absorb every page before ever looking ahead even a few pages. I'm hoping this will make each day like yesterday, a thrill a minute!

I wish I could. I can't read it from the start and I just read it bouncing back and forth. I need pills Not too bad, anyway... after all, GP is the Palm Encyclopedia. It does not need to be started at the 1st page.

It makes me remember the first days of my first Genera Palmarum. I was 17, 17 years ago. This is a bit heavier and the smell a bit different. A slice of life and palm history.

"Many thanks to you, Carlo!!!!!"

That is one "gorgeous" and comprehensive book on our very favourite subject! Thanks for sharing the pix: they "whetted" my appetite to be sure.

It's on my X-Mas wish list...someone better honour my "request" at home...if they want to avoid a black eye (just kiddin'...a maybe just a bit I think!)

Bear in mind that the new second edition is primarily a technical publication, a summary of the palm family at the genus level and a guide to the systematic literature. It's a very accessible publication in that you can learn the technical terms fairly easily through the glossaries and illustrations.

The first edition was pioneering--the late Hal Moore had worked long and hard at making sense of a difficult and poorly-understood family.

An impressive number of photos in the new edition were taken at Fairchild. It's a privilege to live close enough that it's possible to drive down for the day.
