RHS Daffodils, Snowdrops & Tulips Yearbook is now out
« on: November 14, 2009, 06:39:27 PM »
Chris Sanham, ("Snowdropman"), has just dropped me a line to say that the RHS daffodils, Snowdrops & Tulips Yearbook is out. He also mentioned that in the little publicity note, that accompanied Ronald Mackenzie's catalogue, it says that this year there are a record number of photo's of snowdrops, plus 6 article & some 'snippets'.

Mark - Last year I got a copy from Mr J. Akers. Does he have email as the shipping cost may have changed?

I think, yes, David. Only here in Germany it`s a problem to order English books.

Thank you, Chris, for bulking out the information. I should have asked you the obvious question before posting and saved you the bother. Details of postage cost to areas outside the U.K. would be welcome.

I find it particularly wonderful that some of the contributors are forum members. It adds a great interest for me to read their work.

My copy arrived early last week - I would say it is the most 'snowdrop' filled copy of the Daffodil book ever.   ;D 

And some new contributors writing articles - ( for some reason the names look familiar ;) )

John & Paddy - as promised I have checked out the prices to your respective countries - £9.00 or 10 Euro's for Ireland, £13.35 for Canada.

I have also updated my earlier note, which now shows the all inclusive price for anywhere in the world.
