Hortus III - the B&N edition

From: Steve Marak <samarak at arachne.uark.edu> on 1997.09.18 at 13:59:31(1262) This is probably more useful for North American subscribers, for a couple of reasons, but ... Hortus III, a reference on plants cultivated in the US & Canada, is usually rather expensive (the Barnes and Noble web site listed the hard cover version at US $140 just now). Last weekend I stumbled across a paper-bound version at the local Barnes and Noble store, apparently printed by Barnes and Noble, for US $40. It seems to be the same 1976 edition as my copy at home. Oddly, I have not found it on the B&N web pages, nor was it in the gardening or reference section, but in the markdown/clearance area. Hortus III is a bit old, given how quickly things are changing, but I still find that I check mine frequently. If you've wanted a copy and didn't want to pay the price, this might be a good option.
