I fully agree with Ross Rowe's glowing praise for Phillips and Lambs
book `Pitcher Plants of Borneo', for the past year it has been my constant
companion and bible on many field trips. Although the illustrations are
predominantly paintings they are excellent as a single picture covers upper
and lower picthers, leaves and inflorescence.
But times change and I will be adding a New Testament to my Bible after 27th
Nov. That is the date that Charles Clarkes book `Nepenthes of Borneo' will
be launched. Just last week I was fortunate to see a copy, hot from the
presses, and it is a truly excellent book with more than 100 superb photo's.
>From my brief look I am sure it is going to be a `must have', for every
Nepenthes enthusiast.
