Re: Visitor's Guide to American Gardens

**"* m* p* <m*@dargan.com>**

I hope they reconsider. Gibbs-Smith, my publisher, now issues all new books
in both formats.This a double-edged sword since as author ( I have one under
contract), I have the luxury (!) of thinking in both formats from the
get-go....and you guessed, it the same pay! But apparently if a book is in
e-book format, people most likely will purchase a hard-copy too, especially
if it is a reference book. Cheers, mp
