And, it is available through an online ordering service :

They specialise in gardening books, and NZ ones at that. I wouldn't expect you to
be able to buy it here in the US. You need to check with them about postage rates.
NZ offers Economy Post which is a really good way to get things from there to here.
Takes only a couple of weeks - a combination of sea and air service.
By the way, someone mentioned how their Leptospermum scoparium is doing well this
year. I agree, mine are flowering beautifully. A great time for planting too, with
this cool, overcast weather. (Sorry about you folk in the inland zones.)
I'm new to this list, so am doing a lot of "lurking" and learning. I did go to the
Huntington plant sale at Pasadena, advertised on the group home page. ...along with
thousands of others. If anyone plans going next year, make the effort to get there
at opening time. Otherwise all the best plants are on someone elses trolley.
