If you haven't already, you should check out http://exoticplantbooks.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Daiv's store has really good plant books of all sorts. And good prices and service too. If I weren't running out of room on my "bedside reading" bookcase, I'd be ordering more! (I'd say 80 - 90% of the books on the top shelf came from Daiv!)

Re: Book Seller Recommendation
I've got a wardrobe full and still buying. Not counted for about a decade, but I had about 1500 books and cactus journals then including full runs of the British and American society journals from their start. You can obviously get another bookcase on top of that one Harriet!
First issue of the Cactus & Succulent Society of Great Britain Journal.
First issue of what very soon became the National Cactus & Succulent Society (UK).
Both societies eventually merged to become the British Cactus & Succulent Society.

Re: Book Seller Recommendation
yeah, exoticplantbooks is a good website for books. I had a friend bring 9 of the Euphorbia journals (I already had one) from the US back to Belgium with him because it was cheaper.

DaveW - for folks in the UK, it is hard to beat Keith as a source due to the high cost of overseas shipping. I have had a few trades with Keith and find him to be a true gentleman. You guys are fortunate to have him.

Re: Book Seller Recommendation
Yes I got my Turbinicarpus book off Keith at the Cactus Explorers Weekend. Keith took over Roy Mottram's (Whitestone Gardens) books when Roy retired. Also as you say Daiv stuff moves freely within the EU without import charges etc and at usually lower postage cost than from outside the EU.

Keith often advertises books on British EBAY too.
Noticed this on American EBAY that may be of interest to cactus journal collectors with issues missing.
