I'm a member of their science book club and just found out that I can
order books of the other clubs. They didn't think that the Cheers
book was on sale, however, but they're checking into it. I'd be happy
to order copies for anyone else who wants one. Shipping/handling
usually comes out to about $5/book from these people.

Also: I live in LA, about 5 miles W of the water, and I keep my (few
-- S. minor, VFT, C. darlingtonia, several common Dros.) CP outside.
They don't seem to have any interest in going dormant yet, even though
I've cut down on the water. The days are still quite warm, (sunny of
course); the nights have only recently started to get into the low
50s. Do I need to be doing anything special to force dormancy, or
just watching?
