Copies of this edition of Blumea may be obtained from the Netherlands.
The price is 50Netherland Florins postpaid. It may be purchased by
Eurocard or Mastercard, removing the need for currency exchange.(
Currently 1 Netherland Florin= about 45 cents US).
Address your email to zoelen@rulrhb.leidenuniv.nl
The person's name is Mrs. Marnell van Zoelen.
Delivery time was about 10 days from placing the order.
As for the journal itself, I found it interesting but it is certainly
not for everyone. A beginner would be better off spending the $20-25 on
a book on cultivation/care. This is a taxonomic work with a few line
drawings but primarily descriptive text regarding the presently
recognized species of Nepenthes. If this interests you, it is certainly
an excellent reference. If not or if you are looking for photos, try one
of the other books that have been described on this list.
