mid-Atlantic/southeastern USA, roughly from Maryland down. >>
I suspect and hope that the reprint of the book is actually out-of-stock
rather than out-of-print, meaning the Press has to physically print more
copies before they can ship.
I'd be very surprised if they declared it out of print since that would mean
they did not intend to offer it again, and they have been very devoted to
this book, which is probably one of their better sellers. I'm speaking of the
Universitity of North Carolina Press at Chapel Hill who have made a very
attractive edition of the work available. Duke also publishes several of
Lawrence's books. In any case, here is the descriptive page from the UNC
Press on-line catalog for anyone unfamiliar with the work in question.

Ms. Lawrence wrote rather a lot about irises hither and yon in her various
books and I have been assembling notes therefrom toward perpetrating an
article on that very subject, probably for the Regional rag.
