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
