<< Hi Julie
         Rodale press has the book see below
                                         wes >>

Sorry Guys, but Rodale is out of both of the main books by Bill, the manual 
and the Intro.  I bought up the last three copies of Introduction to 
Permaculture (which we still have), myself, in case we needed them for 
students in our current online course.  (We always get late registrations.)

The prices on these books is going up, Rodale tells me, $20 to $24 for the 
intro and $45 to $60 (!) for the manual.  These are said to be new printings; 
I doubt that they are also new editions.  Also in securing books for  our 
class, we got Bob Kourik to go through his warehouse and find all the copies 
he has left of Designing and Maintaining Your Edible Landscape, Naturally.  
There are only hardcover copies of the book left, but it is a classic, worth 
the extra cost (which is not merely my viewpoint, but the view of my students 
whom I surveyed before investing in this inventory).  The price of the 
hardcover copy of this book has NOT gone up.  I've been encouraging Bob to 
come out with a new edition for the past few years, but he says that the 
economics are againist it.  (If anyone out there has $100M to invest in an 
invaluable tool for healing Mother Earth, let me know and I'll put you in 
touch with him.  My interest is that I want a new edition on the market 
before I have to remove the book from our online permaculture course required 
reading list.)

Anyway, I can probably spare a few of all of the above-mentioned books as I 
got enough copies to avoid back-orders.  (I detest back orders--they are 
extra work with no extra benefit to the planet.)  You can also back order 
from Rodale.  I haven't checked our publication email address lately, but as 
of two days ago the books had not come.  They were sent surface, so they can 
take 3 to 6 months, though I do not know when they were actually shipped.  
There are likely at sea somewhere at the present.)

Anyway, if anyone is interested in our book list, it can be downloaded at
