One of the advantages of belonging to the Australian Carnivorous
Plant society is that you can buy books at discount prices. We
are definitely selling:

A GUIDE TO CARNIVOROUS PLANTS OF THE WORLD - Gordon Cheers (1993)

for AUS $20 + postage. (Economy airmal to the USA is about AUS
$27, seamail is cheaper). A substantial saving, wouldn't you say?
