I would _definitely_ be interested. If there is enough general
interest, maybe Erik would be willing to add it to "The Krib", as
he is picking up a lot of "good stuff" from the Digest and storing
it there.

Welcome, and congratulations. Baby plants are as much fun as baby
fish! Don't be a stranger.

I have found the Scheurmann book in local discount book stores.
Since it is a Barrons book, I'm sure your local book store can
order it for you if they don't carry it. The ISBN is:
0-8120-1687-4.
As far as the Dennerle book is concerned, the Aquatic Gardener's
Association offers it to our members at $15 including postage.
If you're not a member, you should be! We put out a bi-monthly
magazine with the most up-to-date plant articles you'll find in
English, both article written by our members, and reprints from
European journals.
You can join by sending $15(US funds) annually to:
Dorothy Reimer
83 Cathcart St.
Lndon, Ontario
Canada, N6C 3L9.
For an idea of what you will find in our magazine, you can visit
