Greetings.
Those of you in North America only who are interested in the reference book
mentioned here recently, A GUIDE TO SPECIES IRISES: THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND
CULTIVATION, from Cambridge University Press, which has a retail price of
$105.00 and does not often get discounted, may wish to avail yourselves of
what appears on the face of it to be an opportunity to order this directly
from the publisher at a good discount. Listen up.
I have here in my hot little hand a copy of a publications catalog from
Cambridge University Press called Plant Sciences Fall 1998. It is addressed to
me and contains many wonders, including the BIS book.
This catalog advertises a special discount of 20% on the titles presented.
This means the BIS book would be $84.00, plus a $4.00 shipping charge for one
book and $1.00 each for each additional copy. Canadians must pay an additional
7% GST.
To avail oneself of this discount one must either use the special order form
in the catalog, OR call and mention the special number on the special order
form. I am invited to share this offer with my colleagues, which I am sure,
must mean you. It is certainly worth a try if you are interested.
Go get your MasterCard or Visa. Pre-payment is required.
Make a note of this number--which is the latter part of the ISBN which
identifies the book uniquely. The number is 440742. They should ask you for
the 'book number' and this is it.
Place your order by telephone with your charge card. Call Monday through
Friday between 9 and 5pm ET. The phone number is 1-800-872-7423 in the USA and
Canada.
WHEN YOU PLACE THIS ORDER MAKE SURE YOU MENTION THE ORDER FORM NUMBER TO GET
YOUR DISCOUNT. This magic number is MD8PLNT
And make certain the person on the other end knows that this number is the
code for getting the 20% discount. Just because they are working for a
university press is no assurance they have any smarts.
The offer is good only through NOVEMBER 20, 1998.
They propose to ship UPS, so you will need to give them a viable UPS address.
I have my copy of the book so I haven't had to call to see how well this all
works, but if you have been wanting this book and dreading the capital outlay,
as it were, this would seem to be a chance to get it at a better price.
Hope all goes well.
No tricks, just a treat coming at you from HIPS, which, lest we forget, is
also devoted to the study and preservation of historically important Iris
species.
