Vraev: That book is only $31 on Indigo. I got it for that price a few months ago with free delivery because I bought a few other books at the same time.

Are you serious! DAmn!!! I saw it at chapters last time for like 41$. I imagined tax etc making it 50$.
The one at amazon is 32$ + 5$ shipping + couple more for GST. total 41$.
Should I cancel it?? By the way I am no Ireward member.

Hi Vraev: If you don't have Ireward and you don't want any more books to get it up to the $39 free shipping point then go with the Amazon deal. Is that Amazon.com or amazon.ca? Sometimes if my order is under $39, I actually order from Amazon.com. Even with the shipping from USA and the exchange it is often cheaper. Especially as I never get billed sales tax!

See my post above. Without Irewards and free delivery the $41 is around the best you will get within a few $. My copy had a ceph on the front by the way.

well.....I guess I got to have rechecked the price at chapters. As I said...when the boook released it was 50$ so I fugured it would be better to get from amazon. I think amazon's service is great as well. I just ordered this a few hours ago...already it has been picked up and ready to ship tomorrow. The amazon place is also in mississauga...actually somewhere in my home town ...I wouldn't be surprised if the book arrives day after tomorrow. because when I ordered savage garden....it arrived pretty fast like that. damn! I should have looked more......but well......I guess I lost out on only 2-3$ savings. However, I am more satisfied that I didn't miss a venus fly trap cover book. lol! BTW:: About blanking out my address.....all of you guys here know it as I sent it to soo many ...I just didn't want to have it open publicly on imageshack so i wahsed it off. Hope no one is offended.

I bought that book about a month ago at a chapters here in calgary for 39 $ It is a nice book but I wish there was more personal description of plants and stuff instead of putting them as groups.

I just had a quick glance through every page. I finally appreciate that he has quite a few pics and info about Dionaea. However, I do miss info about nepenthes rajah. I have not seen any except one pic of it in the conservation section. Overall...its a nice book....BUT....I would have loved to get more information about....well....everything in there. I don't mind having a 500 pg book. I know Barry also mentioned this as a problem as they gave him a strict page limit.
