The Savage Garden? Recommendations?
« Thread Started on May 15, 2007, 11:39am » Hi everyone. I've been looking for the Savage Garden all over KL and couldnt find it anywhere. The only place i havent look is at Kinokuniya KLCC. Dont want to go there and be disappointed.

Anyone else know what other useful CP books i can get and where? That focuses more on vft and sundews..

Thanks.

So far, I ONLY use Savage Garden for all my references but if you are more into Neps like David, then you`ll probably need other books.

« Reply #7 on May 29, 2007, 9:03am » where did you go to look for it Ding ? we have seen it before in MPH Mid-Valley, Borders Berjaya & Curve & also very recently I bought a copy of it from Kinokuniya for Ezrena..... how often do you come to KL ? perhaps i could try to look out for you in KLCC if that`s convenient. i`m not sure if i can meet up with you tho. Btw, when i bought it 3 weeks ago the price was rm98.24........ « Last Edit: May 29, 2007, 9:06am by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top 203.106.226.24 bifurcatum

« Reply #11 on May 29, 2007, 4:04pm » Yes, but it`s the most comprehensive book around on overall CPs. All of us who own one would swear by it for guidance on CP care......quite detailed & informative. I bought mine for rm70 3 years ago. The price has gone up since.

« Reply #12 on May 29, 2007, 5:18pm » I second what tarence just said. That is "THE" book to get if you want a comprehensive book on CPs. It is also written for laymen like us who does not want to be bog down with scientific terms etc.

« Reply #15 on May 30, 2007, 8:34pm » hi tarence. last time i was going to Kinokuniya at KLCC searching for the book but failed to get it. Bifurcatum, for the CP books you can surf the website of natural history publication from sabah. it offers a lot of CP books. there has nepenthes of *****ular malaysia, nepenthes of sabah and nepenthes of sarawak. each are sold for RM 20 each. if you were a student, just request them to give you a discount. you can pay through bank transfer to them. you have to pay the postage fee too.
