There's a bit to go yet before they start dropping through your letter box (or out of the ether) but just a little something from the adverts pages to wet your appetites. Timber Press will be giving TRG readers a nice little deal on the Plant Lovers Guide series including the Snowdrop one.

[David Nicholson]

It won't be long now. Here's a scan of the Timber Press advertisement, which will be on page 121 of the January 2015 edition, and showcases the Timber Press range of Plant Lover's Guides, including Naomi Slade's Snowdrops. As you will see these are available for a special price of £15.00 per title (including postage to UK mainland addresses [elsewhere postage is charged at cost], just use the code SROCK15 on the Timber Press website at www.timberpress.co.uk  . Dahlias, Salvias, Sedums and Snowdrops are available now and these will be followed from 1 April by Tulips, Epimediums, Ferns, and Asters .

Sadly I heard from Sally McEnallay, Sales and Marketing Manager for Timber press UK that Timber Press USA has made the decision to close their UK Office at the end of March. Sally has been good enough, at a time when she must be under some pressure, to set up procedures by which our members can continue to implement the offer outlined above after 1 April. I have thanked her for this and those procedures are below:-

""The code is up on the website, which will be active until the end of March at which point, I think, the US are closing down the UK site. After 1st April, the best way to redeem the offer and order books would be for members to contact our PR and Communications manager, Becky O’Malley, also based in Devon! If they ring her on 01395 232166 or email her at romalley@timberpress.com she will be happy to take the order and organise for the books to be sent at our agreed price of £15.00 per book with free postage for UK addresses.

I hope you might be able to distribute this information to members so that anyone who does want to order still is able to do so after April 1st. ""

I will repeat this information on the Books thread.
