I am looking for a copy of The Sansevieria Trifasciata Varieties by Juan Chahinian. It was printed in the 1980's
Anyone have one??

Hi Flicker
every time I find the need to acquire a book I call all the used book dealers in my area, you would be surprised at what they have

This book is somewhat rare and may be hard to locate. I ordered one a few years ago from Wolfgang Werk at http://www.inthecactuspatch.com. He may have one in stock or be able to locate one for you since he deals in out-of-print C & S books/literature.

Cicada & Growhappy, Thanks for the info.
Wow. It's just an out of print plant book. What could be worth that much money? It is out of date and used!! I will check out antique shops and flea markets.

Dear Potemup,
Isn't that amazing!!...how much is being asked for this book! I read about this sans book on a sansevieria forum . I thought it would be helpful. I'm not a book collector, so don't want a first edition or signed copy, etc.
I haven't ever seen the book. Our parish library system doesn't have one, but they are going to ask around. If it can be found, it can be shipped here and I will either check it out or just read it over in the library. Who knows, It may not be what I need.
Thanks for responding,
Johanna
