Many thanks friends!
I'm meant to be proofreading the references tonight but got distracted by the notification of 'reply in Snowdrops in art topic'!

And yes, there are chapters on snowdrops in art, snowdrops in literature etc. And of course thanks to the members of a certain rock garden forum in the acknowledgements.....

Why would you want it flat? I love embossing.  I think it is a very  effective  image.

... but not published on 1st August as had been scheduled, it would seem.  I have one on order but got an email today saying that the bookseller is still trying to obtain it.

Gail has yet to receive her pre publication copies, but has had artwork returned so hopefully it won't be too long.

Thanks Brian.
Message from my editor today;
"The latest schedule I have says that the book should be delivered into our warehouse and released on 15 August rather than 1 August, so it may have got a bit held up at customs. I'll check up on it."

I'll let you know when I know something!
Kind regards

Good to know they are all singing from the same hymnsheet Gail  8)  Such a shame they don't stick to schedules, however, I expect there were unforeseen circumstances which delayed their work :-X
