I just got the latest catalogue from Wheldon and Wesley, books
on natural
history.They have a large section on plants including CPs. Darwin and
Slack are both listed Slack's carniverous plants at L20. There are also
many books on classification and collections also long runs of journals.
Many books from the nineteenth and earlier centuries. Prices range from
L10 to over L10000 (yes ten thousand pounds) per book. There is a whole
section on orcids and another on cacti. They often have a section on
Darwin there are several other sections I havn't mentioned including a
good one on geology and palaeontology (for those who like fossil plants
as well as living ones). This is a good souce of out of print books and
they only deal in quality material. I have had stuff from them before
and all their descriptions have been accurate and their service
excellent. As recently mentioned on this list many original
descriptions of species were made in the UK and this is a good supplier
of the original journals and monographs and may hence be of interest to
people outside the UK.
I have nothing to do with the company. I have only found them good in the
past. If anyone would like further details or is in a hurry for a particular
book
e-mail me direct and I will send whatever details you request.
