That's about 1/2 price, and it's probably worth
that for the photos, which IMHO are the primary
attraction of the book. The book has quite a
number of mis-labled pictures and related typos,
but I bought it for about $40.00 and consider it
a nice addition to my CP bookshelf. At $22.00
it's an excellent Xmas present to give yourself.
It's nice for two reasons: 1) it has photos of
some of the newers species, particularly in the
case of Nepenthes, and 2) it has a nice month by
month calander in the back that tells you what
should be happening with each spieces each month.
