The Tropical Plants of R. Burle Marx

From: FLYGLASAIR at aol.com on 2002.04.05 at 01:15:09(8469) Has any one ordered this book? I was interested in getting two copies but I was concerned that they do not have a secure server for credit card transactions. My attemps to e-mail them have not had any response.

And it has a secure, site for purchasing books from too. I will include the URL for you. Angel http://www.abebooks.com/ +More -- Angel151@earthlink.net

From: Dan Levin levin at pixar.com> on 2002.04.05 at 16:24:51(8478) Jim & Rob, et al: I emailed Harri Lorenzi back in January at He responded in short & referred me to the web page www.plantarum.com.br for ordering, which I did. My copy of the book (which is rather nice, btw) arrived in great condition approx. 8 weeks later. --- +More My 2? worth: No pun intended, but plantarum.com.br is NOT amazon.com. My sense is Harri's pretty much running a one man shop and if he happens to be in the field doing research for his next book... well, you just might not get an immediate response. Eduardo Goncalves would know better about this. Also- you're right Jim, their server is not secure. I took a chance but opted to use a credit card which expires soon just in case. And for the record, I've had no unauthorized purchases posted to my account since then BUT shortly after ordering I started getting some interesting spam in a language I'm not particularly fluent in. For me it was worth the risk, but caveat emptor! > Has any one ordered this book?

From: "Patricia Frank" tricia_frank at hotmail.com> on 2002.04.05 at 21:59:18(8483) Yes, I ordered a book with a credit card. The card did not go through and they notified me for another number and sent the book before they got the new number. The book is beautiful, all color in English and Spanish.

Not so different, but maybe people can buy it thinking that it is in Spanish!

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2002.04.06 at 15:37:33(8489) Dear Aroiders, Yes, Dan is correct: plantarum.com.br is not the biggest book seller in Brazil. By now, they were most interested in distribute their books within Brazil, so they may not so fast with worldwide internet commerce. In addition, Dan was correct when he said that Harri Lorenzi is almost the entire time in field trips or writing the books. He is the owner and the bookwriter! (and also the field man) By the other side, his books has much more research on it that most (fastly arriving) horticulture books I have seen around. Just try this. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More >From: Dan Levin >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: Re: The Tropical Plants of R.
