My "Pitcher Plants of the Old World" Vol. 1 & 2 finally arrived yesterday. These books are tremendous. Stayed up til 2AM reading Vol. 1. Any nepenthes enthusiast needs to have these books in their library.
I just talked with Stewart and he confirmed the preorder books BEGAN shipping June 19th via surface. I am sure they didn't get every preorder shipped on that day. So 4-6 weeks after that date roughly.

I just received both books yesterday, what have now been referred to as my shameless "pitcher plant porn," considering that I was up well after midnight flipping through them. The books are indeed beautiful and far more readable than the previous tweedy, pith-helmet laden "scholarly" texts, most now long-out-of-print and often running hundreds of dollars. Strangely enough, I've seen both titles at California vendors for weeks, though it took over six to get them shipped from the UK . . .
My copies finally arrived today. It took just over seven weeks. I want to say it was worth the wait, but I wish they had given people that made advance orders the option to make an additional payment for air shipment. That's with hindsight, of course.
That said, the books are beautiful! A massive amount of text and loads of beautiful images. Can't wait to dig in tonight...
(BTW, for those of you that are within a reasonable distance, Stewart McPherson and Barry Rice are joining Peter D'Amato at California Carnivores August 23rd.)
