The Savage Garden is a really good book on CP's, its apparently one of the best but hard to find.
written by Peter D'Amato of california carnivores.

my wife found it on http://www.thebookdepository.com which is a UK site with free shipping on all orders world wide.
We've had many books from there and each seems to come shipped individually even when you place one order for a pile of books (not sure why but dont care if its free freight and they arrive)

so i get my copy of The Savage Garden today and its just like every other book we've had from there. in mint condition and complete.

so if your looking for a copy why not hit up TBD for a copy. i can now return the copy i borrowed from the ACPS member library :ugeek:

The Complete growers guide to Carnivorous Plants, author Barry A. Rice
my mum seen it and got it for me as a gift while on a weekend away in melbourne.
another fantastic book, and being a large hardback it would make a great book for your coffee table too :)

mine has a different cover (ive got a cobra on the front) but the title and author are the same.

It looks good, but 50 bucks is ALOT for a book

for sure, but the photography is simply stunning.

its got your usual huge wealth of info, but a lot of colour photo's, full page photo here n there..

the added cost is due to the size and quality of the images within. (imo)
