And it's a day early! Thank you Phil for a reminder and Elisabeth & Norbert for the actual work done and shared for free!
PS: Assuming the authors will read those comments sooner or later, I wonder if an Amazon self-publishing would be an option worth considering?
And edit: Maybe the "Cactus de Patagonia" could be also "re-printed" the same way?

I'm sure nobby can comment when he sees this but I remember reading (or hearing, at the TSG meeting?) that they wouldn't publish any further paper books. I love the Austrocactus book and was astonished at the quality for the price. I have a growing number of ebooks and ejournals that I'd prefer on paper... but that's a different topic.

Re: Pterocactus - Jewels of the Cono Sur [download]
I was thinking of printing the Pterocactus PDF at my work. I can ask the repro to print and glue-bind it in a nice A5 booklet for me. I also like to read from paper instead of a screen.Phil_SK wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 3:07 pm I'm sure nobby can comment when he sees this but I remember reading (or hearing, at the TSG meeting?) that they wouldn't publish any further paper books.

Maybe it will make my araucanus flower and prove it actually is araucanus.

Re: Pterocactus - Jewels of the Cono Sur [download]
Brilliant book - a pity it is not available in print. It would have made a nice addition to the DKG series of publications as well, but making it available via their Website no doubt ensures a much greater reach. Thanks very much for posting the link, Phil!
