Books by Dirr

[NickfromWI]

I'm looking at getting a book or so from Michael Dirr. Have any of you seen his book on hardy plants (http://www.amazon.com/Dirrs-Trees-Shrubs-Warm-Climates/dp/088192525X) or perhaps this, his book on warm climate plants. (http://www.amazon.com/Dirrs-Trees-Shrubs-Warm-Climates/dp/088192525X/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199067698&sr=1-6)

I wanna know if they are worth the pennies.

Hands down, worth it.
Michael Dirr... absolutely.

I'm torn. I think I'd like to get the Hardy trees and shrubs, but living in LA, I think the book on warm climate plants would be better.

Grrrrrr...or should I say....


Drrrrrr

I'd go hardy trees & shrubs for the general knowledge.

I have the hardy trees book, and it is an excellent reference. A coworkers brother worked with Dirr on some of his work.

Dave, can you get me an email address? I want to know when the most recent edition was printed. I don't want to buy them at amazon (They are like 25% off cover price) and find out a new edition was JUST released.

I don't have any connection with Dirr, and I haven't seen Brian in years. There must be a way to find out what the lastest edition is online. Does Dirr have a website?
