Thanks for the recommendation. It's on my Xmas list. (Happy it's in english, was worried that it might be in german).
Just for fun, I looked this book up on Amazon (USA). The publication date for Amazon says Feb 15, 2013. Maybe it's available a little later in the US? (Also the price is $74)
Kew books web site now state that the publication date for the UK is now the end of December 2012.
Fingers crossed!

new cyp book
My copy arrived today.
It seems to be a semi-coffee table book with superb photos.
Each species has a double page spread with at least half a dozen pictures, usually from the wild, showing some of the variation in the flowers.
The ones of tibeticum forms are stunning.
There is a small section near the end on hybrids and also on culture including in pots.
Regards,
David
