Woody Plants for the Central and Northern Prairies

---

Dear Prairie-l member:

We are a relatively new publishing company, dedicated to keeping in print and available for purchase book titles which larger publishers have lost interest in and have declared "out of print". We are especially interested in scientific and technical titles.

We have recently been asked to publish "Woody Plants for the Central and Northern Prairies" by Walter T. Bagley and Richard K. Sutton with illustrations by Nancy L Scott. All the authors are at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

The book is 600 pages and heavily illustrated. From the introduction:

"Woody Plants for the Central and Northern Plains" attempts to build upon the foundation of the knowledge provided by the prairie pioneers. The authors present gleanings from published research and the notes of professional and amateur horticulturists, landscape designers and foresters. We strive to provide factual information for professionals, students, farmers and urban dwellers in the heartland of the United States. "Woody Plants for the Central and Northern Plains" is the authors' attempt to provide descriptions and sketches of most of the native and exotic plants in the region"

Would this title be useful, do you think? Is there a need, and an audience, for the book?

Please respond directly to me.

Many thanks.
