Didn't buy the Silk Road book at Loughborough. Spent all my money on plants. BUT I was given the Tulipa book and unlike Darren I found it very interesting and as with many of these things, very frustrating. All those lovely plants and no chance of ever seeing or growing them!

[Darren]

It is interesting and the information it contains is valuable but I found the illustrations a bit lacking, and the photographs of plants in habitat frustratingly small.

Hi all ,

before some days I have heard about the book for Hamamelis "Witch Hazel" from Chris Lane ...it looks very interesting !
I have looked today in Timber Press ...but it is out of print
A second try via Amazon was also not so succsessfull ...crazy Prices for new and used books
Also some other searches (Bookfinder ,Abebooks ..) give no results

So ....now I have the idea to ask here if someone has a copy for sale ?

Please send me your offer via PM

Thank you in advance
Hans
