Hi All TF members!
Dr. Barry A. Rice, known to many of you, has a new CP book available. Amazon is taking early orders, so if you want a good book on cultivation, order now to ensure publication. He's not sure that they will publish this, but it is a new book on cultivation of all genera with 400 photographs! Barry gave me permission to post this here. It was posted on the CP listserve today. Take a look at this! I've copied his posting:

Hey Folks,
Well, Bob Ziemer just pointed out that if you search Amazon.com for my name,
you'll see an entry for a new book I've written on carnivorous plants.
Interesting.
Here is the background on this. I've indeed signed a contract with apublisher, and have handed in the final text and set of about 400 photos to the publisher. Writing this book has been an excellent impetus for my refreshing my memory on certain aspects of carnivorous plants that I've forgotten about, or never bothered to learn! I had every chapter reviewed by
experts, so I don't think it would contain egregious errors.
In any event, last I heard the entire book may have been cancelled (alas, the uncertainties of the publishing industry), but perhaps not. If the book DOES get published, I humbly think it would be a useful addition to the CPlibrary. (I wrote it to be something that *I* would find useful, in the
hopes that others would, too.)
So, that's that. If you'd like to learn more, here's a web page I wrote to support the book:

Cheers
