I think Mark is right Rob, you've left it all a bit late for this year.  The best thing to do is to prepare for next year by looking at the back of the Snowdrop Book and be ready to send off for lists when they come out.

Rob when I said the Snowdrop Book I meant the monograph.  Look for it in the library and then you will know the suppliers details.

The snowdrop book is certainly one of my best purchases. Definitely a CAPITAL investment! ::)

Many people I know now have two copies. A dirty copy and a new copy

I’m sticking with my well annotated, tatty looking, copy in the hope that the next release will have enough additional information to be worth buying.

Best wishes

I tried to bid on the mongraph on ebay but was outbid :-\
It went too high in the end, I really hope to get this brilliant book.

What did it go for?

If the SRGC do not have any, try the AGS they had some last month!

Déjà vu!

Rob - you really must get a copy as I am having a real Groundhog Day feeling with yet more places that have the book available for you.   ::)

Rob

Buy it from AbeBooks.  It will be NEW, the second edition and a lot cheaper than the eBay copy.

Very funny film. Watched it last week. Had this feeling I'd seen it before though. ::)

Rob,

Both Wisley mail order and AGS have copies available, and less than the ebay price. Good luck. Janette
