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!

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

Rob,

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

Abebooks
I do not have a Visa or MasterCard, how can I pay?
We understand that you may wish to pay via a method other than Visa or MasterCard. We would like to explain that booksellers have the option to accept other payment methods such as cheque, bank transfer, PayPal, money order and other debit and credit cards.

Tip: If you wish to pay via a method other than Visa or MasterCard simply click on the bookseller name to view their payment details. This can be done from the search results.

Should you choose to pay by Visa or MasterCard, AbeBooks accepts your payment on behalf of the bookseller.  We store your credit card details on our secure server, and they are never shared with anyone.

PayPal Orders:
You may wish to use PayPal to pay for an order. Once you have ordered from a bookseller who accepts PayPal, the bookseller should then contact you with their PayPal details. PayPal is not integrated into the AbeBooks system, so once you have the bookseller’s details, you will need to make the payment through your PayPal account.
