With regard to the situation of sold out copies of Allen Lowrie's
'Carnivorous
Plants of Australia, Volume 1': Has Allen been approached to consider
doing a
reprint of this book given the apparent relative demand. It might be
necessary for those of us who are interested to 'presubscribe' in order
to
determine if the numbers would be workable
This sounds like a good way to "start the ball rolling" although I
confess a complete lack of knowledge when it comes to the publishing
business. I noticed in Allen's 1997-98 plant/seed list that all copies
of volume 1 are sold out "world wide" and he has been buying up and
reselling used copies of volume 2. Does anyone in the group know Allen
personally? Has he considered a second printing on either volumes 1 or
2? Just what is required for a second printing by a publisher? Is
there a minimum run #?
Its unfortunate since both these volumes belong in every CP enthusiast's
collection.
